1 Chapter 1: Darkness

I was awoken by the thunderous sound of the train. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was darkness. Pure, utter darkness.

I don't where I am. I can't see myself. I can't even feel my legs! Where am I?

I slowly got up (or have I really gotten up?) and tried to touch my face. Fortunately, it's there. I can feel my lips... my ears... my nose... my eyes... my eyes... I can't feel my eyes! Where are my eyes?! I can't feel them! I can't touch them!

The whisper continued to tell me to come back and I kept asking who it was till I lost consciousness once more and into the darkness I gave in once again.

"Please come back..."
