| Nothingness Forever |

I scream!
Hands pull me out of bed.
Confusion sets in.
Frantically, I try to make it to the door, but I feel a stab of pain.
That's when I ease into the world of nothingness.
Later, I wake up.
I hear voices of people talking quietly.
I open my eyes and to my surprise it is dark.
I cannot see.
What is around me I cannot tell.
The air is damp.
It feels like a cellar.
Oh God, why did they take me here?
Someone notices that I awoke.
They tell me to sit up, that I will not be hurt.
So I do as I am told.
The room becomes still as a man begins to speak.
His voice echoes clear and audible.
I suppose that he is boss of these people and so I do not like him.
He brought me here for no reason.
He tells me to stand up and I obey.
He says that he will kill me because I am his enemy.
Enemy?
I reply.
He does not answer.
So I repeat what I said.
And then.
That's when the world of nothingness greets me again.
Only this time, it is forever.
