The Four Maha Men and Their Prize

73- Darkness

Hen POV

Darkness, Hemmtiful darkness, I am surrounded by a sea of darkness, I feel like Tam falling. It is light and I can’t feel any of my body parts. More swirling darkness, I don’t know how long I have been in this dark abyss. It’s quiet and peaceful. But I can’t help but think something is wrong. I can’t shoke the feeling of dread and despair. My heart feels heavy against the floating andlingness of my body.

More darkness, more silence, more of this dreaded feeling like something is not right.

Then I heard something. It’s faint. Heep, Beep, Beep. Wint is that sound? Beep, Beep, Beep.

I try to move towards the sound. My curiosity in getting the better of me now. Beep, Beep, Beep.

As the sound gets louder, I feel like my body is being drowned. So much pressure on my chest. Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.

I see a brightness in the darkness. The noise in getting loader, and the pressure of my body is easing slightly as I feel myself floating towards the light. It calls to me. The noise gets louder with every inch. I close my eyes tightly to the brightness and then my eyes begin to flatter and I find a white sterile light above my head, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.

I take a minute to center myself and blink away the black spots in my vision. I notice the clean white tiles on the

I continue to blink, trying to rid the thoughts of the darkness. I slowly move my extremities. It takes a lot of effort but I can wiggle my toes and lingers slightly.

Heep, Heep. That’s the noise. A heart monitor. What the fuck happened? I start to feel my body and it’s sore. Every breath I feel my hugs taking and it hurts. My limba feel stiff and henvy as if my blood was full of lead weights. I feel like I’ve been shot. Beep, Beep, Jeep,
