For a moment, she had no idea what happened to her. Then, all types of feelings began to surround her body—a bizarre sense of something heavy pressing on her shoulders as if to push her right beneath the ground she was standing on; invisible, unfathomable tongues of flames sliding over her skin akin to burning snakes; then came a strong feeling of something wet and cold sprinkling from every direction like an autumn drizzle; and then there was nothing.
Dark, overwhelming nothingness Aideen was so familiar with. She was blind again.
'How strange... I know, I still remember what's around me, but I cannot help feeling that I am surrounded by nothingness as if all of a sudden, I am left completely alone again.'
"Aideen?"
