Nothing



I start to feel fuzzy, the room is spinning and im shaking.
Then suddenly, a bright light appears in front of me.
I see many lights now, buzzing around me, watching me.
I blink and then...nothing.
I see that everything has disapeared.
There is nothing but the blacknesss, emptyness void that is the unknown.
I scramble to catch my thoughts, im unsure if I am suppose to be afraid or happy?
Out of no where a flash of light.
I see one person walking up to me, She seems very familiar but I can't remember where or how I know her.
She call's my name. Gently and peacefully to come to her.
There is a strong urge to go to her but I am not sure why.
As I walk up to her she grabs my hand then nothing.
Everything disappears.
There was never anything "there".
Nothing is ever "here".
We are nothing.
