2 New Body & New World

The dark night sky above a forest suddenly lights up. A single white line streaks across the sky and it crashes to the side of a hill. A loud boom reverberates and a crater is carved with many fallen trees surrounding it. Smokes rises from the semi-circle hole. A football-size black crystal, spherical in shape lays in the center. A few months goes by, and the black crystal lies motionless. While the forest around it slowly starts to reclaim the crater by covering it with grasses and trees. Suddenly, a small crack appears on the black crystal.

(>-------------<)

I can't move. After I'm awaken, my whole body somehow paralyze and feels numb all over. Also, it feels like I'm being confound in a really tight space to the point it closes in my whole body. What happen to me after that agonizing dream? Did I die? Oh, shit! Is that why I also can't see anything? I died and got buried? Wait, if I'm dead, why am I still conscious? Or, is this how being dead feels? If this is how it feels to be dead and and got buried, it really sucks.

Hmm, what to do? What to do? Arrgghh! I don't know long I'm stuck like this, but I'm not gonna take it lying down! I try to will myself to possibly move any part of my body. After a while, still nothing happens. Then, suddenly I could move a bit and my numbness disappear. For some reason it feels like I'm swimming in something within in an enclose space. Again same feeling as the dream before, but without my sight. Well, I'm still stuck within something and unable to see, but at least the numbing sensation disappear.

After a few moments after that, I realize that the enclose space is perfectly circular in shape. I push against it as hard as I can and like before, feels like pushing an immovable wall. I try to pound it as hard as I can like the time with the huge wall and as I expected, a small crack appears after a few hard hits. I push open the crack like opening an eggshell, but from the inside. Hmm, kinda feels like a baby bird hatching isn't it? I open up a small hole this time without using any of my body parts to make it wider. Then, I could see some light penetrating through the hole and it looks beautiful. Also, for some reason it stings!

The light hurts me and making my body numb again. I try to find the broken off pieces of the casing surrounding me to cover back the hole, but it suddenly disappears. Why is this happening!? After unable to do anything and bearing the pain coming from the light, suddenly the pain and numbness slowly vanish. Also, for some reason I'm blind and starting to feel that I don't have any limbs or any part of my body! It feels like I'm a mush! What the hell is happening to me!? Did I melt? Also, for some reason, I can still move my body. Sigh, whatever. I've have enough of this. Just going with the flow of this crazy dream. For now, I'm giving up understanding my situation and try to widen the crack once again while being unable to see what I'm doing and only able to feel it through touch.

When I feel the hole is big enough, I push my body outside. I ooze out from the crack and part of my body lands on what I assume is the flat ground. Hmm, for some reason I can feel every nook and cranny of this dirt ground with my mushy liquid-like body. It's like putting your hand on the ground flat and get the feel of every grains of dirt and tiny rocks. This gives me much relief. At least I know some familiar sensation. For now, I can only sense my surrounding through touch. I'm deaf, blind and can't smell anything around me.

Moving my whole liquid-like body out, I begin to explore more of my surrounding. It seems I'm in a large hole. Most possibly a crater. I come to that conclusion after I found some hot dirt and rocks around me. I have a feeling that I just fall from the sky and made this crater on landing. So, in a sense, I'm an alien aren't I? Also, my body right now is a liquid-like ooze. I'm like V*nom from Marvel! Hell, yeah!

Suddenly, when I'm about to leave the crater, I feel like part of my body suddenly appear. I don't how to explain it, but it's like feeling back your sense of touch on one of your numb limbs. Going back to the middle of the crater, I find another part of myself. It seems the shell, that has been holding me enclose is a part of my body. Huh? Why couldn't I control it before? This questions just keep piling up.

Once again, I continue to explore my surrounding. Might as well, explore this dream, but damn, moving anywhere is so slow. Without legs it really sucks. I'm probably moving at ten meters per minute. After a while, I find grasses, small plants and possibly huge trees. Moving onward with no purpose whatsoever, I encounter moving water. Is it a stream? Wow, it's really cold. Hmm, how about I take a bath? I think this much is a reward for me, after going through some horrendous experience. Without much thought, I just jump into the water and the slow current takes me. Strangely, I don't have the need to breath while in water. It seems breathing is no longer necessary for me. Hmm, this is going to be convenient.

I don't know how long I've been in the water. But, without me realizing the water's flow becomes slower. Probably, the stream is getting bigger as it flows down. Then, suddenly I feel a strange flow of current swishing pass by me. Something in the water creates that. Is it a fish? I try to reach out to it with my extended liquid body, but the only thing I feel are a row of teeth. A huge strong force pulls me in towards the teeth. Oh shit! It's trying to eat me!
