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.
