Breaching the darkness that has surrounded me my whole life i immdediantly get blinded by a bright light, so bright my eyes sting, forcing me to shut them, as i fall to my knees in exhaustion. Landing on my knees i feel something, something spiky. As my vision returns small green spikes are all around me, but they don’t hurt. I start to brush them around with my hand, the way they move is so hypnotic. Looking back up at the bright light, my eyes begin to adjust. A massive ball of light is positioned in an ocean of blue with white puffs flying all around. I don’t know what any of this is, i don’t know where i am or who i am, but i know I’m free and I’m not going back. “Sweetie, where are you going, please come back to mama please.” The voice sends a shiver up my spine, i don’t even think to look back, i just get up and run, run like i never have before. I begin to notice that some of the small green spikes have grown into huge towers of green. More of these towers would appear around me with different shapes, colours, and sizes, it was beautiful. After what felt like hours of running my body forces me to collapse to the ground my body so weak, even breathing is feels impossible. I sit there trying to catch my breath the most amazing thing flys in front of me. A small creature, so small i can barley see its head. The creature has the most amazing patters on its wings as it flapped effortlessly around me. As i slowly lifted myself up off the ground with all the might i have left many more of these creatures started circling around me, i couldn’t help but look at each individual pattern on the wings. Some dark orange with stripes, some bright red with spots. The flying creatures begin to move away, but weirdly it looked more like a dance, the most amazing dance you have ever seen. With every ounce of strength I have left, i pick myself up and follow them. Eventually the tall towers of green lead to a clearing. A massive pond of water covered in small green plates fades into view. I look back up at the winged creatures and i can see them all flying above it. The crystal water shimmered in the light, this is something i have never seen before,. I slowly hop into the pond, one foot after the other. Submerging my legs the feeling of cold refreshing water makes me shiver. Lowering my body more, the water almost creeps up until it makes it to my neck. This is the most amazing feeling i have ever felt, almost like I’m floating. But i soon realised I didn’t have long left, im starving to death, dehydrated, and extremely exhausted. Even though i should look for food, and try to survive, for some reason i just want to stay, stay in this pond watching all the creatures around me. The shiny swimming ones, the small fluffy ones, the long scaly ones. If my time on earth has been nothing but darkness, fear and death then i want to spend my last moments in the light seeing all the things I’ve missed.
