Infinite

I feel it happening. This sensation that ripples through my body. Adrenaline courses through me and fear isn’t far behind. I panic and try to grab hold of something, anything. But there is nothing here to save me. There’s not safety net here. No big blow up mattes to catch me. Just an infinite emptiness and blackness as I feel myself rapidly descending. I scream but hear no sound. It’s not as if anybody were even listening. My screams are always silent Like the gliding wings of an owl. Panic returns, all I see is blackness. I look up and the brightness above me fades and diminishes with each passing second. Peace suddenly envelopes me as I resign myself to my fate. And I close my eyes to allow my senses to engulf me. Then, I wake.
