I felt the cobble stones under my bare feet, as i wondered aimlessly through the dark forest. It didn't hurt, as each sharp stone pierced another part of my foot. I was in a daze; i couldn't recall how far i'd walked. I gazed down at my feet, blood covered them. Why couldn't i feel pain? I was numb, physically and mentally. I took a deep breath, and then let it out, it was cold outside. Very cold, yet i felt nothing as my fingers went purple.I stroked the tree next to me, its bark rough on my fingertips. The wood smelt strong, touch, like it wouldn't fall down any time soon. I took a deep breath, the flowers smelt sweet. The scent tickles the end of my nose.
I wondered some more, before falling to my knees.
The hard roots, within the mud grazed my legs. As the mud stuck to my wounds, i felt small stings of pain rush up my legs. My legs were bloody and covered in mud; i smiled to muself, as if proud and ran towards the light, peeking around the trees.
I heard whispers, just as i was about to take a step out of the forest. I coudn't make them out, but they sounded far away, but i could feel the words dancing along my tongue, yet i spoke no words. I was making no sound. I giggled and ran out of the forest and into the light.
It was beautiful, the most beautiful thing i've ever encountered. It sparkles, like the scales of a fish. It danced around my head, in movements I'd never seen efore. This wonderful things was true beauty.
I must be the luckiest person alive, to have found it.
A gust of wind blew past me, making my dress wave high in the air, causing goose bumps to form on my legs. I didn't feel the cold. I gazed forward, still shocked by the beauty i had found. I was too scared to blink, in case it vanished. I would stand here the rest of my life and marvel at it. At least, that's what i wanted.
I heard the whispers again, this time they sounded louder, as if the whispers were yelling. Yelling at me, i didn't understand. This beautiful thing seemed harmless, i didn't want to leave.
As if the click of a finger, everything flashed before my eyes. The beauty came to me, it hit me all at once and i felt myself fall backwards. I landed with a thud on the grass.
Everything went black and stayed black. I was dead.
