dark...
dark and cold...
dark as the darkest night, cold as the coldest winter...A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Yet it is a comforting dark, one of still consciousness. One you know you are going to wake from.
A flicker of light, nothing much, a small light, maybe the size of a lighter-flame at arms lenght.
"Truly beautiful", I wished I could have said. however nothing stirred the darkness but the light. I moved forwards, or as such I hoped as the light became larger and larger, until it covered all that I could see.
Now the dark and cold were no more, in the wake of the light and warm. My slumber ended.
