Darkness part 2

I could hear snoring in the distance inside this black void. As I got closer, I remembered the snoring matched the snoring from last night. Then an ear-piercing scream made me jump a few feet. I was run over by a huge blog-like being, and I was knocked down. There were chirps and clicks between a few beings, like they were talking to each other. Then I was grabbed, tied up, and carried on top of something’s head. 

I could hear the sounds of drums playing, like we were getting closer to a music circle. Then I saw the bonfire and realized I was dinner to these beings. I was able to break free and run for my life once I hit the ground. I could hear them get confused and start to search for me, but they didn’t notice me running away. Once I got a good distance away, I stopped and lay down on the ground. Normally, my asthma would have stopped me a long time ago, but I wasn’t affected in this darkness. 

I was drifting off to sleep lying there, so I got up and went south of my current spot. After fifteen minutes of walking, I hit an invisible wall face-first, hurting my nose. I made sure that it wasn’t broken before feeling for the wall. It was real, so I made the choice to go left. I found the right tennis shoe, and it was the size of a small child. Then I found the matching left not far away, and I had to feel for it in the darkness. 

I have read plenty of stories about how bodies are found after finding small items of clothing strewn around. So, I sat down and prayed for the small child who once had the shoes. I prayed that I would find a shoeless kid running around, but I had to be prepared for the best and the worst. I opened my eyes to reality and myself lying in bed.
