Blink!
A pair of eyes blinked open in an unending darkness.
There was no intelligence within the eyes… only confusion, pain, numbness and disorientation remained.
'Where am I…?'
'What am I…?'
'Who am I…?'
The world around him was dark and endless, like space. And it was so silent, that was the most unnerving part.
He felt like he was stuck inside a dark hollow tube, an abyss.
As the owner of the pair of eyes looked around in numb silence, the silence was suddenly broken within his mind.
DING!
'Huh?'
He saw a thread of lines that were both familiar and unfamiliar appear in front of his eyes within the unending darkness, making him blink.
