I drifted back into my unconciousness, Christian’s voice droning in the distance.

I was dreaming… it was summer, and me and several friends were walking through the woods, talking and laughing… But I wasn’t in my body. I saw myself walking with James, Ryan, Sean and Natalie… I saw my arm around her, and we were laughing with wide smiles spread across our faces. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, and they seemed to be getting farther and farther away. wait… I tried reaching out, but my essence felt whispy and unable to move. I saw our faces turn from smiles to distortions of terror… They were yelling, crying out as they were drifting away. “Help!” I read from my own lips, and Natalie slipped away from my arms, falling into a kind of white abyss that began devouring the woods around me. It reached me, and I felt myself being absorbed into it…

It was warm, and there were three lights surrounded by darkness… My eyes focused as I regained conciousness, and the three lights became one.
