It seemed pretty dark outside, and inside. She looked around and couldn't see a thing. Nothing. Not a shape was recognizable, not a glimpse of light visible. It was complete darkness.
She opened her arms in search of a thing and reached deep into the emptiness that surrounded her. Stretching her arms in front of her she began walking, taking cautious steps, trying to see with her arms and feet. Trying to find a familiar ground, a soothing sight, anything that was recognizable.
Emptiness.
Useless.
She couldn't sense the time. She had been walking for a while now yet had no idea how long, how far, how deep.
She had no appetite even though she knew her body was drained from any food or liquid.
She started thinking and yet found darkness. She found that memories were faded in her brain and in her heart. Hardly any memory of a face, of a voice, of a scene, of a touch.
She paused. She brought near her extended arms. Then she started touching herself. Her body, her face, her hair, her legs, her feet. She was. But that was all that there was. Otherwise, nothing.
