-Reily-
This is not natural. I slowly opened my eyes. What just happened? I
couldn't see a thing. One minute, I was in that alley, the next I
was… here. Wherever “here” was. There's so much green everywhere. I
can't feel anything.
“Hello? Is anybody here? Melissa? Hello? Hello?” I paused. Was
that… rumbling? Shit. That's not good. I turned to run. My feet
felt like lead. I… I… I can't move. The rumbling got closer. I
don't want to die. I don't want to die!
I pushed myself to run. It didn't feel like I was moving. Still, I
kept pushing. I didn't want to die. I shut my eyes and kept trying
to run.
Suddenly, I could move. Someone grabbed my hand.
“Come on!”
I didn't argue. I shut my eyes and kept running.
My body felt like it was floating. I opened my eyes. There was
nothing there. Only cloudy green. I put my hand to my chest. What
is this?
“How do I get out of here?”
I looked up when I heard whispering. I paused. What was this
now?
My hand dropped to my side. My body calmed down. I had my answer. I
started walking again. I know how to get back.
“Cross through the seven gates and you will get home.”
