1 I of IX
My day started like any ordinary day. After waking up, I'd prepare for work. Eating brunch, drinking coffee, bathe then dress up for work.
It was like any ordinary day of my life, then after work I would go straight home, eat dinner, play a bit of computer games, then go to sleep....
Dizzy and nauseated after waking up, looking around, something's not right....
The world seems grey.
Realizing this... i need to confirm it, I spun in panic to get out of bed--rushing to the window.
My mind is filled with disbelief. My heart won't stop pounding from seeing the world outside, i realized that it was not the world i knew.
A void within me is growing...
From across my house the sight of a burning tree puzzled me. The only thing with color from this world i am in, i got drawn in.
Its vibrance a mystery to me. Like a moth drawn in to the candle's light, it was too late when i realized I was already outside my house and walking towards it. My mind is filled with panic with each step i took, it felt heavier as i go near it...
With every step memories start rushing in, a surge of information, a realization of what went inside me, that made my world grey... a dreaded reality awaits me. It felt like i took a dip inside a reality mixed with fantasy with the hint of horror from every step that i took.
Snapping out of the day dream i was in, I found myself standing in front of the burning tree, at the center of it, a mirror appears... gazing at it, panic and nausea ensues.. as i stared at the mirror expecting to see a reflection of myself, but what i saw wasn't what i expected... it was all black.. the blackness drawing me in the void inside myself grows...
I wanted to reach in to the void in that mirror... extending my arm with my hand glancing it... the mirror shatters.. upon breaking a portal of sorts appeared... it was the darkness in front of me... my own dark self; my refelction.
I peered in to it... remembering something i read a long time ago... that when you stare into the darkness long enough.. the darkness stares back at you...
In front of me something not from my world appeared... nothing written in books nor current logic could explain... And it was telling me "it's going to arrive soon"... and it wants me to witness its arrival... and the destruction of logic itself...
I was trembling upon learning of the things to come... fear fills in the void inside me... and it won't go away... it will never go away...
My mind is tired from being over burdened, being powerless against this figure whom i cannot depict... I'm starting to get dizzy again... having a hard time breathing... I wanted to rest... I laid down, staring at the grey skies filled with memories of the past... thinking of my existence... how I lived my life... filled with regrets...
I'm suffocating from the pressure....
As I close my eyes, accepting this was the "Truth" that there won't be any tomorrow for me...
Slipping into nothingness... my mind blanks out...
When I regained consciousness I found myself in my bathroom in front of my mirror.... I smiled....
