I Remember
(Prompt used is actually the first sentence. This is from another prompt app. I just wanted all my things in the same place.)
I do not know what happened.
I remember feeling warm and cold at the same time. Like sweaty and shaking together.
I remember darkness with bursts of light so bright that my eyes had no time to adjust.
I remember grass between my toes, I remember mud under my fingernails.
I remember the taste of the woods, musky and earthy and wet on my tongue.
I remember the cool breeze tickling over my flesh and goosebumps racing each other over my exposed skin.
I remember distant sounds of cars speeding down the thruway, sprinkled with the pleasant interruption of the croak of several frogs.
I remember feeling frightened that tomorrow may not come.
I remember feeling safe as I wandered out from the long stretch of trees.
There was only then, there was only each individual moment.
Hazy flashes of images like a slide show on repeat.
But I do not know what happened.
