Wrenched from my grasp, he vanished into the dark. The haze of nothing that my inept eyes were incapable of focusing on mocked me in its vastness. My hand was frozen in the air, grasping nothing.
Empty and alone.
Where is he?
I hunted for that radiating warmth in this waking nightmare. As I searched, it felt like the room was stretching into infinity. Hands reached out to nothing but cold air.
No walls.
No door.
It felt like the floor was falling out from under me.
Panic clung to me, like death's shroud. The silence was stagnant, not even my breathing cutting through it. Footsteps were lost as soon as they should have sounded.
How can this be real?
It can't be.
where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you where are you
All I could see was his face fading from view.
All I could see was the dark.
Is my heart even beating if he's not here?
