My breaths came in rapid little gasps. I couldn’t help it; he had me trapped in the corner. Then, he said the one word that made the scene complete. It was so silent, I could only see his lips move, but the message was there. "You." A smile spread across my face, lighting up my eyes. Bailey mirrored me. We were silent, just

Trapped in the Darkness It's dark, indescribably dark. Usually there's moonlight, artificial light, starlight, something, but not here; there's nothing. I try to move, but I am restrained. I listen, but I hear nothing. I smell but I smell only something clinical. If it wasn't for my heart pounding and my lungs racing to catch up, I might imagine I am dreaming, but I'm not. I'm not!

Anything could trigger my tears. I remember crying on my birthday just because people were singing to me. I guess you could say I didn’t like the attention - something I grew out of many, many, many years later.
