Darkness >⁠.⁠<

Evan's POV

I realized something was strange as I tried to swim myself out of the water. I found myself in more depth. I was confused. How come a fountain can be so deep. As if I was floating in the deep sea.

Panic took over my senses. In desperation, I tried to swim harder. So that I can go out of the water and breathe. But all my efforts were useless. The more I tried, the more I went deep into the water. I feel out of breath. Suffocating. Something was literally wrong with this fountain.

And then I felt it. Someone was dragging me. I don’t know if it’s human or any other creatures. But that thing was dragging me in the depth of the water. I was scared. So much scared.

I want to live. I don't want to die yet. I also want to be successful in my life. As well to be appreciated. I want to show my parents that I am worthy of being their son. They shouldn't feel ashamed because of me. There is so much to do, but it seems like I won’t be able to do that.

What will happen to me?

Is my life just this enough?

Was I that unworthy, to have a chance to prove myself?

Why can't I live more?

Why can’t life give me happiness?

Why do I have to go through all this shit?

Was this my Asd?

Why?

as I thought of my misfortune my body took over slumber. The darkness took me into sleep. My body felt heavy, motionless and weak. I was exhausted. Unable to breathe the darkness dragged me into the depths of water.

...****************...

“ughh”

“What’s happening here?”

“Where am I? Why is it so dark?”

I thought. As I feel that I am in my senses now. I look at my surroundings but I see nothing but darkness. I don’t know where I am. All I can say is that maybe I am dead or maybe not.

“Is this after life? but honestly I couldn’t recall doing anything bad that was worthy of this darkness.”

I thought to myself. As I feel more sober, I can Sense that this is maybe not a dream. All of my surroundings were indeed all in darkness, but I can feel it.

They were seeing me. That penetrating gaze was all on me. As if they can see through me, judging me. And that was scary. Damn scary.

“Where the hell am I?”

There must be someone who is there but the question is who? And why so much darkness? I can't see anything.

Are they the ones who bring me here?

Am I kidnapped?

Are they going to sell me?

Will they decide what to do with me later?

My soul screamed to escape.

I was looking for a way to get out of this place.

I felt like something was fishy about this place. Is this really a place or am I somewhere else. It didn't feel like human work to me. The More I recall all the weird things that happened to me, the more my doubt gets clear. This is indeed not a human's work but something else. And then the question arises.

Who did this to me? And why? What were those weird incidents? Am i still in the human world??

"Ahhh is this a grim reaper's work? It can be possible to see how dark this place is. It's surely as dark as his heart." I thought.

Is he going to Kill me?

Fry me into hot oil?

Chop me into several pieces?

Cut my ribs and my all organs out?

Etc.

I was immersed in my thoughts, then just then I heard some sound. Seems like some people are talking. But they are far from me. Their voices were so low. vogue. Distant. I can’t hear them clearly. But they keep talking to each other. I focused on their voice. I tried to catch their words but everything was so confusing I didn't catch a single word.

After a while their voices stop. Seems like they stopped talking. Everything became Silent again. There is no sound now.

Are they the people who will decide how to end my life?

Or make decisions about my after-life?

what they will do to me in the near future is make me pee on my pants.

I am scared. I don’t know how long it takes them to make a conclusion. But until then What should I do?

“Hello!”

I tried to talk but it seems like they didn't reach my mouth instead all my words were circling in my mind. All my words seem like they forget their ways to go out.

“Am I already dead?”

“But why am I still in senses then?

"What if my word didn't come out, I can still think."

But what if i am not sane right now?

Or am I still in sleep? Or maybe not?

"Do I try to sleep again?”

Maybe when I wake up after my sleep, I will be at my apartment sleeping soundly on my bed. I thought as I tried to sleep.

It sounds funny but honestly, I don’t know if I close my eyes or not. Because the darkness in here is too thick to see through it. There is not a single ray of light. I close my eyes or not there is only one thing that exists, and that is nothing but DARKNESS.

I thought as i tried to sleep, Is this hell or not?

But if anybody asks me about this place, without a doubt I will say that

"Yes this place is nothing but HELL."

The silence that took any person's sanity away.

Loneliness that makes you scared of.

Inner self who is screaming to run away from this place if you want to live but my body couldn't move. everything tormented me.

This place is hell and I'm trapped in this hell all alone.
