���������������

��������������� I�m floating.

��������������� Floating in a depthless sea of white� never ending white stretching from the farthest of points on the horizon towards the space, which I occupy. White. Everywhere. Everything. White.

��������������� My eyes are closed, yet I can see. I can see everything, which is nothing. Why can�t I open my eyes? My head hurts.

��������������� Who�s that standing next to me? There�s someone there. I can feel them.. touching me� holding me� lifting me up� why does my head hurt so bad? Daniel, is that you? I�m afraid to open my eyes. I want it to be you, Daniel.

��������������� But what if it isn�t? Who else could it be?

��������������� Daniel, why aren�t you here? You were with me when I left. Or did you leave, too? Please say you aren�t gone.

��������������� Each breath is labored and forced. My chest hurts. Everything hurts. My eyes get wet. Daniel, where are you?

��������������� I cry.

��������������� I want Daniel!

��������������� There�s that pain in my head again. I manage to open my eyes. SENTINELLS! Standing over me! A half-moon of eerie beings.

��������������� DANIEL! Please!

��������������� They�re hurting me. I can feel them slicing into my skin. My mind isn�t rational. Oh, it hurts! Danny, it hurts!

��������������� I�m not in the dark anymore. But everything is white! I want the darkness back. At least when it was dark�I was with you.

��������������� �I think he�s waking up� get anes.�

��������������� Yes! I�ve woken up! Why was I surrounded by doctors? I tried to cry out in pain� they were operating.. what the hell had happened to me? I choked. Daniel wasn�t there� A man walked over and placed a mask over my nose. It was easier to breathe� but� NO!

��������������� I�m back in the white.

��������������� Back in the deserted,

frightening,

unfriendly,

�cold,

unforgiving

W H I T E.

Without you..
