Epiphanous Timing.

The Intro, of sorts.

 

The sky swirls angrily above me, black clouds centering upon the remaining gray that has cornered blue into near nonexistence. I am fully aware of the fact that while I observe the sky above me everyone is observing the person that I was. Yes, I was.

Covered in dirt with the caked icing of blood, clutching a treasure desperately close to my quaking body; I'm a spectacle to see.

The sky above swirls faster and faster still, the blue gone with the gray replacing it. Soon it will be overwhelmed by black clouds and violent sounds. Soon it will be time for me to go home.

 

I can't explain myself, I'm afraid...because...

...because...I'm not myself, you see

 

 

Going back and reflecting on all that I’ve done and seen is remarkable. To think that I have changed tremendously in the span of what I’ve been told has been ranging from seconds to decades to months to hours.

Last time I’ve asked how long I was gone he said five minutes.

I’m no longer who I used to be and who I am is a mystery but...It’ll be okay. This is bigger than myself, much deeper than I could ever wish to be. Turns out, I’m really not that necessary.

Chance is chance and fate is-

Inspired by Carroll, writing manuals, and a sense of lost identity.

The imagery you use opening up seems very surreal, intently dream-like. The flow of the words seemed very poetic as well, which helped create the vivid scene you described.
The quote and unfinished line also creates a building sense of anticipation, of suspense. Or as Summer described: "FATE IS WHAT?!?! FATE IS WHAT?!?!?!?!!!!" haha.
It calls the reader to question what the purpose and theme is behind your words. They appear metaphoric, but is it really an allegory or simply a portrayal of actual events?
Well written introduction :)

Haha, I love Summer's comment
But I agree.
You need to write more...NOW
DO IT!!
It?
Yes, IT!
Anyway, I digress.
Write more, this is good stuff.
