Drowning
I am awake, my eyelashes kiss my upper cheecks. My eyes sting, as if I've been asleep for years, and I NEVER want to regain consciousness. It's so... quiet, but not the silence that makes you want to wait for an unecessary gasp or a screaming that makes you realise why it's so quiet. The water strokes my bare body as I stand. The sky is a purple turning to a blue, turning to a red that soon shall be a green. The air tastes like life, like the wonder you see in a young child's eyes, before they are broken by society. I step out onto the green grass and it comforts my ***** feet. My hair tickles my shoulders, there's not one sign of wind. This place is a temperature I've never felt before, but somehow has always been my favourite.
Who... am I? Why am I here? It's only been a few minutes since my slumber broke and I'm already doing what made man make the most careless mistake, doing anything possible to find meaning. If nobody was broken to the point where they felt they needed to feel needed, maybe my mother wouldn't have been killed by a man that felt alcohol gave him meaning. The man... who made me. I'm the reason she's a "hoe" and a "slut". Wait........
MY MOTHER? !?! I had a mother!
I begin to run, through the grass. Though the air, sky, trees and water that is still my on clothing, is slowing me down, bringing me to a halt, I don't want to, but the cold water has covinced me I do. I drop to the ground. Sobbing, sobbing, sobbing. Then I'm out again. I wake up. Some one is screaming, however it only stops when I close my mouth. There she stands, horrified. And he, he tries to calm me as he holds me. "I'm here". I stop. " I missed you, my love" I say. I cry "I've been so lonely". I touch his scars "you told me you wouldn't let them hurt you!" I yell. "I'm okay though, you don't need too worry". "I just woke up and you're already hurt!". " Exactly! You need to relax, you just woke up. Again". Why do I remember a man I don't know.
His touch, is magnetic. Like it's feeding me memories, do I even know him.. or. I jump out of his arms. All of a sudden I remember nothing I did a few seconds ago. What is happening?! "Who are you?!" I yell. "Alyssa, calm down!" . "Who is Alyssa?!?!". " I know you are confused! It's okay. Listen to the sound of my voice". I.... I need to leave here. The stab in my neck was quick and didn't give me enough time to feel pain before the world went black and I hit the floor once more....
