No 80 of 💯: What awaits us on the other side, and can we return?

Darkness was my home for so long that I have forgotten who I was or where I came from. I was indistinguishable from the others, connected to all in pain and suffering. The coldness and silence of death surrounded me, calling me its own.

Slowly I grew in strength and could see glimpses of myself in the depths of the night. In the shadows of a full moon, I touch the real world. Gently I reach out, breaching the veil and making my presence felt.

In the silence of the early morning, I see myself through your eyes. You see me there too, and the fear I see reflected strengthens my resolve to return.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the stories so far. Inspired by Zane Dickens 💯 Story Challenge. Let’s see how long I last.
