step, step, further into the abyss. the blotched, dark area void of light that was meant to be… anything but this. there was something i knew this endless expanse to be before. i'm sure of it.

step, step, yet it never seemed to end. looking back, losing sight of where i once was. the normalcy of it all mere minutes ago lost.

step, step, in search of a sign, a voice, anything to guide me back to life. in the back of my mind i knew there was something more specific i was looking for, yet i couldn't parse just what.

step, step, as the strings tugged me along, an all too familiar sensation.
