Silent Strength

Darkness, that’s all I could see around me. Well, not “see” per say, since I have no face. Actually, I don’t have a head, well I do but it’s not in one place. The same could go for the rest of my body. I couldn’t feel my hands, my feet, my chest, legs, anything! I couldn’t breathe, but... I didn’t have lungs or heart at the moment.

I wondered if I would stay, and grow mad, forever. But, I heard, a sound. It was a beep? It was something.

Then... there was a light. The light grew, it spread around me, as I started feeling again. I felt my face form, then my entire head, then my top and lower section of my center, then my arms and legs, then my hands and feet. It was as if they were materializing, the particles slowly coming together. And then...
