Regrets?

While others were sleeping peacefully in their lover's embrace, Ji Yao was stuck in a never-ending dream that could be better described as a nightmare.

His surroundings were so dark that he couldn't even see his hand when he raised it in front of his face. He felt a great sense of anxiety as he walked aimlessly with no sense of direction. 

He wanted to stop walking at some point because he felt like it was a pointless task. He was walking around in circles over and over again. But the moment his feet stopped he felt something lurking in the darkness closing up on him. Something so sinister that it made his blood run cold.

The sense of uneasiness increased the longer he stayed in place so left with no choice he had to keep moving forward. Just as he thought he was going to walk himself to death he saw a bright light shining from a great distance. A great sense of comfort washed over him the closer he got to that beam of light.
