I awoke in a space
lacking light or dark.
I was not sure if
my eyes were open
or if I was seeing
the inside of my mind.
I was cold but
not shivering.
A breeze began to
blow across my face.
From an unknown direction
and source I heard a voice.
Garbled, soft, almost
not human.
What seemed like days
passed before the
space filled with
light blinding my
eyes and burning
my skin.
And then I saw them
staring at me.
