The darkness enshrouds me, suffocating me with its immense weight. I can't breath, I can't see, I can't scream for help. What is happening to me? I lash out, trying to grab anything, trying to feel something in the murky world into which I have been plunged. There is nothing. I feel my heart beating in my chest, faster, and faster. I think I'm beginning to panic, losing control over myself, my body, but especially my mind. I feel like I'm drowning, my lungs being choked of from the oxygen they so badly need. I'm being dragged down, further and further into the abyss of nothingness. I once was on solid ground, but now I'm not so sure. Am I falling? If so, which way? Up or down? Gravity is meaningless in this world, time has no bearing. Has it stopped, or is it speeding up, racing like the panicky thoughts coursing through my mind?
I fear I may never escape this place, that I may be trapped here for eternity. But in this place, is there such a thing as eternity? And what is the definition here? One moment, two? Is there such a thing as the infinite when you are deep in the bowels of infinity itself?
And now I hear someone else. They seem to have found the screams that I could not, off in the distance I hear their howls. A woman, terror in her voice. I try to move towards the voice, to call out, but I cannot. If I am moving, I cannot tell, I seem to be floating in nothingness. Nothingness with weight, mass, pushing on me, all around me. I try to swim through it, all in vain. But wait, the voice is coming closer! I try to turn towards the source, strain my eyes against the darkness, and find this woman; try to call out again, but nothing. The voice continues.
I begin to wonder, am I dead? Is this hell? There are no fiery pits; there are no enslaved masses of the damned doing Satan's bidding. Or are there? I still cannot tell. I can only wonder, what lies around me in this vast plane of murky blackness. The screams continue, but ever closer, closer.
Then all of a sudden, blinding light! I try to close my eyelids against it, but it pierces into them, burning my retinas with its brilliance. I blink at it, cover my face with my hands. The screaming has stopped, but this light! Oh, make it stop! I cover my eyes with my hands, and it helps a little. Then the alarms start. I jump, startled by the harsh tones blaring from somewhere nearby, to my left. I slowly reach out, blinded still, and feel...
My alarm clock. Shit. Time to wake up. I will be late for work if I don't hurry. Blast the light! Give me the blinding darkness of my dream, let me go back to that place, for my mind is truly a less scary place than this waking world I am forced to face so damned early every day.
Welcome to my morning Uber.
