Prolong: Waking up

'What in the world did I get myself into?'

That was the one and only thought that I could process in my fog shrouded brain.

You know...It's quite amazing how acutely the mind can make a rational thought, as soon as the veil of blessed unconsciousness is lifted before going straight to the more known first minute reactions that are triggered by your body's hyperactive senses.

Pain

which triggers

Fear

this triggers

Adrenalin

Which makes you snap out of your mindless limbo and take in everything around you in a split second. This keen but split second observation awakens then scrambles your thoughts into a jumbled mess of pictures and phantom memories you cannot doubt nor bring yourself to believe.

Your now fully rational mind is now sorting your emotions, thoughts, and senses, giving only a few brief glimpses of things you've seen but cannot accept in those few confusing seconds as the faint adrenalin rush you had just finished has begun to fade, making your mind slow and sluggish, though it does little to help your plight now as everything has all but taken its toll.

[Rationality cannot save you now] the whispering voice cooed.

[The damage has been done]

[And now you're waking up.]

Dark and terrifying laughter follows after the waning whispers in the endless void, like a dark beast chasing after a thinning wisp of smoke in the gloom of a perpetual twilight.
