You are surrounded in darkness
and faint points of light.
Your body is weightless.
Floating. Drifting.
You can feel your body scream
as it tears itself apart.
A simple beating heart becomes
a death toll.
Your body is freezing.
You know you're dying.
Red life fluid
oozing out.
Leaving your body
empty and hollow.
Pieces shattered
by your own bodily forces.
