     Silence.

     This wretched, bloody silence.

     What for?

     I reach, clawing, looking, grasping for a way out. I need to get out. This concrete silence will kill me if nothing else does.

     How I wish, pray for death to come. Quickly. Tonight, tomorrow, soon, I beg of whoever is listening.

     My pleas fall on deaf, lifeless ears. Those eyeless sockets are staring at me. I turn away. The corpse is too much. Cobwebs have formed between the bones of what was once a man. The skull is turned, slightly to the right. This man had been the victim of a broken neck.

     There isn't a place to hide from that body. I shiver. Death is watching me through those sockets. I can feel His cold grasp on my sanity. He comes quickly, taking my sanity, then, finally, my life.

     I slip into the eternal abyss of darkness. Demons, things reach for me, grabbing every part of my body and soul, taking pieces and scattering them over the inferno.

     What did I do wrong? Why Hell? I was a good person, until Kevin. He should be here.

     Not me, never me.

     I have children, a husband, family, friends, people who care about me. Why Hell?

     The maniacal laughter. I know that laugh. I turn. Kevin. That slimy bastard.

     I run towards him, but an unseen force holds me, locks me to this place. I can't move, I can't breath.

     Kevin.

     "Marisa, Marisa, Marisa. What did I tell you? Hmm?"

     "Go away." My voice sounded distant to me. It didn't seem like my own. That scared me more than anything.

     "No, Marisa, I'm not going anywhere. The same, however, can't be said for you."

     My body shook. He laughed a laugh that made my insides churn. He was going to kill me.

     Am I dead? Am I dreaming?

     My eyes closed.

You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
