It was dark and cold.
The sound of a droplet of water falling into a calm lake was the only thing I could hear.
It was pitch black as far as my eyes can see. I felt light and floating like I was weightless. It might be because of this space that didn't have the concept of gravity, however, I vaguely could feel there was something beneath me.
'Should I go there?'
I thought about moving to another place but later dissuaded myself from doing so. What was the point of doing that, anyway? If I went there and something unwanted happened, I only have myself to blame then.
It's better if I stayed. If I stayed put, nothing would change. Without change, there was nothing to fear.
Yes, that might be better.
So I closed my eyes again as I carefully hugged myself into a ball.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed about long-forgotten memories.
