Darkness

Just a really short, dark story.

All I see is darkness. Darkness surrounding me. Darkness everywhere. The darkness is swallowing me, suffocating me, overwhelming me. I run and I run and I run, panicked, trying to escape the darkness. The darkness that is so painful, yet so wonderful. The world is still going on around me, yet I am all alone, all alone in this cosmic darkness. My head throbs, and my heart is racing. I hear a consistent pounding in my head. A familiar voice creeps out of the darkness.

            “He never loved you.”

            “No!” I cry. My voice is pained and weak.

            “She never loved you.”

            I shriek at the top of my lungs, yet there is no sound. I run faster and faster. I run and run away from it all, or maybe I am running right to it. The darkness seems to close in on me. The pounding in my head gets louder. All of a sudden, I see a blaze of light. I cry out, reaching into the darkness. I drop to my knees, but I never touch the ground. The pain that I feel is excruciating. Images flash in front of me. Some make me smile, and some make me cry. I see a familiar face, calling out to me. And then, all I see is darkness.

Author's Note

Keep in mind that it is SUPPOSED to be very short and choppy, so that the reader can feel a bit disoriented with the character.
