• I was walking and all I could see was black. As I continued I noticed small lines of bumps under my feet, like the little lines between two bricks after they have been cemented together. I kept walking in a hasty but catious manner. Then I noticed a small light to the left of the direction that I was headed. At first I Iooked at it and I covered my eyes, as I drew closer the light grew brighter. As my eyes got used to the light I put my hand down. Once I was at a close proximity I noticed the light was acually fire. Fire on a sword. I got closer, then the fire went out. It was dark again. I stood there confused for a while. Then the fire came back but dimmer. I squint my eyes at the small ember. Then suddenly the sword explodes! In the explosion I was thrown back. I flew for a short amount of time only to be stopped by a wall. I hit my back full force on this wall. I fell to the floor then I started coughing blood on my hand.I look at the blood on my palm then the wall behind me. I start to think that I clearly walked from this direction and yet I did not hit this wall. I look at the sword now with a flame stronger than ever before. I get up effortlessly and without a pain in my body. I run to the sword with a lingering yet upsetting thought of another explosion. I am feet away from the sword and as I reach for it I wake up on my desk sweating. That day I had fallen asleep while I was drawing and I had a fever.
    Yet I was so close to that sword...
