Sliver of Hope

As I wake up again and again and again. I couldn't

keep track of how many days, weeks, or months it

had been since i woke up for the first time. Its seems like it had been forever. I even stopped thinking about my past because i would get these massive headaches and i couldn't stand them anymore. I realized they only

came about when I was thinking about who or what my past was. I just had to continue hoping that i would be saved from this nightmare one day.

All of a sudden there was a creaking noise, it sounds like someone is trying to open a squeaky door! Yes!

I'm in here! I yelled. Hoping they would hear me, as i could see some type of light. My eyes were starting to hurt, but I was ok with it, it was good pain, i welcomed it. It meant someone was near and hopefully this nightmare would be over.

Everything was blurry, a wave of water washed over me. It felt warm yet refreshing. Like i was starting something new.

I could only make out 2 blurry figures. I concluded that somehow i had been in the water all of this

time, although that didn't really explain anything, i was getting some answers. As the 2 blurry figures approached me I was getting so excited, but i couldn't move, it was like my hands and legs had been tied down. Just then a figure bent down

and picked me up..Wow! i thought i was bigger? I mean i felt like i was anyways. Maybe this person is giant person or something? It was strange, then i realized i was being held in the palms of

someone's hands as they were looking down on me.

I still couldn't see who it was though. I could hear them talking

"wow, its so pretty!" the one holding me said.

"I wanna see! Let me see!" the other one said. I was then passed to the other one. I still couldn't make out what was happening.

"how much do you think we can get for this pearl?" a voice that sounded female queried.

"A Pearl! really!" i thought, there's no way i am a pearl. I think I would've remembered something like that.

"Don't sell me!" I tried to say, but nothing came out. "I'm not a thing to be sold!"

"i don't know, but i'm sure we will get a lot for this thing!" the other

female voice said in an excited tone. I was then placed in some sort sack with some rocks and shells. I tried to talk to the rocks and shells,

but they either couldn't respond to me or weren't alive, like i was.

Were they going through the same thing as me? i couldn't help but ponder.

It has been so lonely and the first thing that really touches me wants to sell me. if only they could hear me. i thought.

As we were traveling under and through the water, my eyes finally started to focus! I definitely knew that i was in a sack, but I could see out the opening (slightly). The water looked amazing, I could tell because I could see how bright it was. That means it was at least nice weather where I was. I could also make out the female

who was carrying me away. I could tell she was well endowed, but i didn't know how she could swim so fast? I didn't hear any noises other than passing water. Finally we breached the water and I could feel the warmth of the sun.

Although i couldn't see those warm rays reached me. It felt like they penetrated my soul. This was the best feeling I had in so long. If I had a face, I'm sure there would be smile from ear to ear on it.

As we departed the water and i could feel the water draining out of the sack. It was slowly falling over me. Apparently this was the first time I would be dry in quite some time. We went through the sand and into a jungle of some sort. When we were walking the girls were just talking about what bazaar they were going to go to.

I hope i can get a real body some day, I thought to myself. Maybe this world will offer something the last world didn't. I mean i don't think it did. My past memories are still gone. I need to try and reacquire them. It should help me in the future.

As I was daydreaming we ended up in a village. I couldn't quite see anything, but i was anxious I want to know what this world is. Am I in my own world? or a new world? So many thoughts of what could be. I was then dumped onto a bed. I rolled around a little bit, but clanked off of some rocks and sea shells. The bed was soft, like i was laying in a bed of soft grass. She then picked me up and put me on top of her pillow, that was just as soft. I could feel the breeze coming in through the window. There was some artwork on the wall of the sunset, but there was another sun above it? Weird, i thought. Not bad though, comfy, looks like bamboo for walls and long wide blades of grass for a roof. The girl then left the room.

She came back in her room about 40 minutes later. She then patted me on the head and was caressing me so gently. That touch felt so nice, i slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.
