Empty Darkness
Empty darkness. Wait – blurs of light. No shapes.
 Colors overwhelm my senses. No smell.
 Water. Mist? Choking confusion. No air.
 Move upwards. Push upwards. Struggle.
 I surface. Almost. Still no air. It’s cold.
 The ceiling. Hard. Solid. Cold.
 I scream. I thrash. I break through.
Awake.
I left the damn window open again. A chance to do some work.
