A Story by Ben M

i was lying down. the glow was in my face and it made my eyes lazy. my body was troubling me and the music was loud. i couldnt see anything, everything was dark.

i closed myself and it felt like clouds. but the glow was so bright, so so bright. the music was pulsing loud. i could make out some things in the distance. they were murky and molasses.

my body was moving because my brain told it to. the music was loud, really really loud. my ears were wrong. something moved far away. everything was underwater and then everything slowed down. i could see just about everything that had led up to this. it was all really really slow. the glow in front of me was so so bright and the music was just really really loud

i could hear ringing behind the music, the kind you hear when you cant get to sleep. it was painful. it was like styrofoam. the glow was so bright and my body ached. i looked over and shadows were moving and coming towards me and my muscles got all tight like a rubber band.

this is what space feels like i guess. the music got so so loud and then so quiet and then it was gone and i was all alone, like a ghost. i could hear the wind try to talk to me. it whistled and tweeted but i just didnt understand. i didnt understand the glow, why it was so bright. why it was right in my face. why i couldnt see anything but the shadows, getting bigger

i looked over and i saw a big lake. it was shining like things do in the night. that way they shine. it isnt right. i heard a little crack over to my side. the glow was so bright it hurt and the music started getting loud and vibrating all over me real bad. i turned my head and the shadows were there

i heard a scream
