My eyelids where heavy but I resisted the urge to give in. All I could was infinite darkness, it seemed to be going on for eternity. I felt weightless floating in a sea of darkness. My muscles tensed. I could barely acknowledge where my body was in space, or perhaps I was just a figment of imagination. A soft tingling Sensation surged through me. I was not breathing but somehow I was conscious. Slowly something moved into my eye-line. It took me some time to make out an outline. No! It couldn’t be… another life, someone like me? A flicker of light blossomed inside of me. My core felt a beat of hope. They drifted closer. 10 meters, 5 meters, until I saw them. They where not like me, something was different. Words echoed through the distant yet their creator was not me. “Thus I have found one like me!” The words reached me, muffled. I wanted to communicate! I was trapped in a body that was not at my command. I felt like a lonely voice unable to be heard. My eyes twitched, but the other person knew.

Knew, what it’s like to be.
