- [A4A] Crawling into the light [Dark]
- I liked /u/CreativeBean18's tweak to make it multiple people so much that I reworked the original a little to accommodate it more readily.
- It has been a long dark journey these past years.
- A journey I have taken alone.
- One that you set my feet upon.
- I see something in the distance,
- Or rather I think I do.
- Is it my mind tricking me, again?
- Could it be real?
- I think I see a speck of light.
- I walk towards it,
- I start running, faster and faster.
- Something unseen trips me,
- I stumble and fall, in pain,
- The light, it definitely is light.
- I begin to feel its faint warmth on my skin.
- I try to stand, to continue walking towards the light.
- I stumble again, unable to stand.
- I scream out into the darkness,
- begging for I don't know what.
- I sit and start sobbing uncontrollably.
- Until I realize that I can still crawl if nothing else.
- So I begin to crawl, slowly, methodically towards the light.
- It is a slow, so very slow journey now.
- As I feel the heat and the light is blinding,
- I see something new.
- I disbelieve my eyes,
- Surely they lie to me.
- But, they didn't earlier,
- Maybe I am seeing them...
- Two pair of hands reaching into the dark,
- Offering to help.
- I tentatively reach out for one set of hands.
- I feel the flesh of a pair of hands clasp mine,
- I desperately reach out for and take the other pair.
- I feel them start to pull me,
- pull me out of the darkness,
- and into the light.
- I begin to cry uncontrollably,
- maybe from the brightness,
- maybe from what I see.
- I see the most beautiful people in the world,
- and they pull me into their arms.
- Holding me tight, telling me that it's alright.
- That it will all be alright now.
