Pain. Not the kind you get when you stub a toe or bust your knee. This
is searing and all-consuming, like lightning streaking off in all
directions and wrapping your body in agony. And it’s cold. So
fucking cold that for a brief moment I wonder why I hurt so much. Why can
I still feel it?
It’s dark here. Not a light or a fire or even a star. Or perhaps I simply can’t
see.

Where am I?
I don’t remember. I don’t know.
I can’t breathe. Or, I can, but it burns. So I try not to. I hold my breath until
the darkness becomes new and velvety, until I can imagine it’s warm. But
then I scrape against something hard and sharp, sending a new streak of
pain running through me until I scream, the sound distant and garbled. And
then I breathe.

I repeat this process again and again until I wish it was over. I wish I was
over right along with it.
How did I get here?
My mind can only process the running thread of my suffering. There is
nothing else. When I try to think, to actually think, the hurt brings me right
back to the cold dark, to the lightning that flashes over and over again,
lighting me up in bright agony until I choke, sinking down, down, down.
I hold my breath.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Hold.
Burn.
Burn.
Burn.
When I finally give in and take a breath, the burning increases a hundredfold. My lungs are encased in flames as I scrape against the edges of the
blackness that surrounds me. The sharpness of the dark cuts away my flesh,
flaying me as I drown. I convulse.

This is the end. I welcome it. I want oblivion. I want anything except the
agony of existing. If I could pray for death, I would. But my mind can’t go
there, can’t stray too far away from the torment that obscures all other
thought.

“Not yet.” A voice, one that wraps around me like silky vines.
I feel myself drifting away. I want to drift away. This has to be over. I can’t
stand it anymore.
“Not yet.” The voice is more forceful this time.

Fuck off! I take another agonizing breath, my lungs heavy and singed.
The coldness changes. Still icy, but somehow no longer weighing me down.
I cough, water spewing from my mouth. Again and again I heave, the
lightning pain growing sharper each time, reminding me that I’m caught in
some sort of hell.

When I’m empty, when I breathe in gulps of traitorous air. Light sparks. A
slight glow, a mirage behind my eyelids. My eyes are closed.

The darkness was so complete only a moment ago. But the light grows until
it pierces me, lances thrown through my eyes and crashing through the back
of my head. I’m pinned in place like a bug.

I yell, the sound ripped apart and guttural. Deep, gurgling, wrong.
Someone tsks. “A long fall.”
