New beginning

A bright flare of light, flashed into my eyes, engulfing my entire body to a state of fright, I jolted, suddenly awake in a dark place, panicking. I shivered at the sudden humidity, my surroundings were cold and wet and the air was thick. I fluttered, adjusting to the evening sun before me

and thinking to myself “What the hell threw me up?” Scoffing. Splash, splash, noticing the shallow body of water wrapping my physique, I place my hands down picking up my now-limbered body. I’m guessing yesterday's events must have left my body quite vulnerable. As I began to walk I noticed something felt different about my body it felt bigger, stronger yet my skin even felt tighter, smoother I could see clear as day and my senses were off the charts, and I couldn’t seem to figure out where I am, where I was yesterday or anything before for that matter.

The dramatic sound slowly turned around to see a sombre creature growing on him, he backed into a rocky ledge seeking and failing to find balance he fell backing what’s too be an abyss, In a short breath he was suddenly engulfed into a thick pillowy blue luminescent substance, he was completely submerged continuously sinking deeper and deeper into this unknown substance which seemed like it was pit, endlessly deep and the pressure building up in my ears.
