Prologue: Waking From the Darkness

For most of my life I've been confined to a hospital bed. When I was eight years old I got very sick. My parents brought me to the doctors office to see what was wrong but they had no idea.

Eventually they did discover what was causing my illness. I had leukemia. I still remember the day the medical professionals told my family that I wouldn't make it past ten.

I didn't understand at first but I knew something was wrong, I had never seen my parents cry before.

What was suppose to be my last couple of years soon stretched into the most worst ten years imaginable. Extensive on-again off-again chemotherapy and radiation soon became the norm.

My parents couldn't let me go and eventually I got so weak I couldn't even get up to hug my mom. Somehow whether a miracle or a divine joke, I continued to live... if that can even be called living.

Sometime after my 18th birthday, now an adult i decided to stop treatments. Never really knowing what freedom was, I hoped that in death I would find my peace and escape this painful life that had been forced upon me, but i woke up here.

Floating in an endless sea of darkness. In this vast expanse I could walk for the first time in years. I wandered around aimlessly without knowing where to go or what to do but all I found was nothing.

While I could walk again my voice was gone, it was so quiet that any sound i tried to make was gone in an instant. Is this void really what I longed for? Or is it my prison?

What's with that bright light? Who dares interrupt my dramatic internal monologue?! Wait...LIGHT!!! Maybe I can get outta here!

For the first time in my life I ran. I ran with energy I never knew I had. I thought that death was the answer I was looking for, but the isolation is unbearable. I now had a new goal in mind, I was going to reach the light and escape this place and live a better life than i did now. hoping for anything better than this. So I continued to run until eventually... I made it.

It's just more darkness? I-I thought I finally escaped, w-whats going on? Was all my hope for nothing? I tried so hard to escape only to be surrounded by more darkness but this time I cant even move my body. W-why? Why does the world want to hurt me? I finally just got the ability to walk again AND NOW ITS GONE!

*chirp* *chirp*. W-what, b-birds?

To finally hear something after spending so much time in silence. I wanted to cry, but then something popped up in my vision.
