An Empty Nightmare
What is this place?
An endless fog that reaches to the horizon.
This can't be right.
There has to be something more.
I reach out into the abyss, but I feel nothing.
I take a step.
I take another step.
I start running, yet it's all still empty.
I try to scream, but I can't make a sound.
I try to grip my throat, but it's as if nothing is there.
I feel for my face, but somehow I can't find it.
I look down for my hands, but I have none.
I have no torso,
no legs, no feet.
I drop to the ground in desolation.
I am nothing!
Nothing is different. Nothing is changing.
Everything is empty..
