"I am floating in blackness. It is a weird feeling, in the sense that there is no feeling. It is frigid beyond my exterior skin. I would freeze in seconds if I did not have my suit.

My world is cold and black. The only thing here is me. All I can hear is my own breathing and the thoughts in my mind. In the blackness, I can see shimmers of distant hope, along with swirls and concoctions of unseen colors.  My world is like my mind: cold, beautiful, unseen, understated, collected and imagined. I try to remember as I float.

Remember about life, before. Before all of this. I can see tall trees, lifting skyward. I am walking through them inside my suit. As if I am on a distant planet. Looking at the world around me as this far and strange place. I can feel the hot sun graze against my cheek. I see the beams of light shine through my fingers, as I try to avoid their glare.

I am able to hear the hum of the world. The heartbeat of life. The thump of energy coursing through, pushing the gears of time toward an unknown future. I can feel the cool bite of the breeze as it caresses my face.

I See her running up to me. With a smile on her face. She is excited to see me. We meet as my eyes open. She has saved me. She has given me back my hope."
