‘Huh?!’
Startled, I opened my eyes. Looking around, I realized that I’m no longer in my room. Everything is dark. Not dark like the color black or the night, but dark like despair, like a sadness that knows no end. Dark like all the happiness, joy, and hope had been sucked out of existence here.

She tried to help and got a few black eyes for doing so. Now, the girl was gone. Jay didn’t even know her name. Jay went up stairs and laid in bed, crying.
