Alone

 
Everything was dark. It felt as though it had been weeks, months, years. I'd lost all concept of time. I tried to run, to scream, but nothing happened. I was stuck in a cold realm of shadow, with no way of escape. I couldn't remember who I was or how I got there. I ran and ran, yet I stayed completely still, my very bones yearning to push past my invisible bindings, but unable to. It was just darkness. Forever. Endless black. Endless shadow. Endless nothing. And an endless sentence in a cell of murky twilight. Forever trapped in obscurity. And unforgivably alone.
