The Awakening.

she opened her eyes.
nothing she saw was familiar. where was she? who was she?
around her, all the girl saw were four strong, brick walls.
above her, all the girl saw was blackness.
how did she get in here?
then the walls started closing in. closer and closer they came towards her, engulfing her with their strong composure.
soon they had embraced her, entered inside of her, and enclosed around her heart.
through the blackness, all the girls feelings were dropped and trapped inside the brick cage. they were contained.
but soon, there were too many. too many terrible feelings, too much pain.
they tore down the walls around her heart.
and these feelings entered her mind, her veins, her heart, and slowly yet quickly enough, had taken over all that the girl once knew and believed.
there was nothing else in the world to live for now.
the girl couldn't find out who she was anymore. she couldn't remember the years of happiness after all those years of pain.
so what did the girl do?
she went looking.
because she knew, and so did everyone else, that the best cure
was happiness itself.
