Darkness...

Not even the slightest hint of light
Darkness everywhere you look
In the distance you hear sweet humming
The humming of a girl no older than four
You walk towards the humming
The lilting music guides you to her
You can now hear your own footsteps
But you still see nothing

Minutes pass
Your pace quickens
The humming gets nearer
Sweat starts to trickle down your face
Tears stream down your face
You can feel the cold
But you still see nothing

The humming now melts into the babbling of a rivulet
Water flows by your hand
A breeze caresses your face
Mud is pressed between your toes
A sudden calm has set
You still see nothing

The water turns warm
The breeze dry and scorching
The mud burns the soles of your feet
The temperature rises
You soon feel nothing but the searing heat
Suddenly you see a light

The light gets brighter
The surrounding get hotter
The light is now blinding
You clench eyes shut praying it will go away
When you open them it has
There is darkness everywhere you look
In the distance you can hear faint humming
But you see nothing
