Vivid Memories

A brilliance I have never witnessed.
White!
Blinding,
as I crack the door open.
The gateway to eternity awaits.
I fathom the unimaginable,
as I step across the threshold.
Into a blankness surreal in nature,
I plunge.
My mind journeys along a trail of temptation,
following my soul.
I traverse across a forbidden path
dotted by black silhouettes
drenched in despair.
Eager for a direction
or an explanation,
I confront a figure.
But, before I could utter even a wisp of a word
a thunderous voice invades my thoughts.

  "The unknown awaits you!"

I wander aimlessly
without direction.
Lost in a sea of nothingness.
I struggle to understand this,
this damn place!
...

I stumble.
...

Then,
a whisper from behind me blew across my ear.
A familiar voice!
My own!
I turn to seek the source.
Nothing.
Save, this confounding emptiness
that confines me.

  'What is this place!'
  ...

  'Where am I!'
  ...

  'Why am I here!!!!!!!!!!!'
  ...

The reality of my dilemma,
overcoming.

Drowsy...

Dizzy...

I fall...
...

My eyes awake
to a familiar surrounding.
I stare in thought at the ceiling,
as the wind from the fans
send chills throughout my wet body.
