I am surrounded by darkness. Even calling it black would be too light of a color. Up and down seems to be but an illusion within this darkness. What seems to be an eternity could have been as short as a few seconds. Within this unknown moment of time, a small light appears. It seems to get closer and closer until it finally envelopes me.

Next thing I know, I'm surrounded by tall trees with some fallen leaves scattered all over the ground.

I look at my hands and they are hazy and sort of see through even though everything around me is crystal clear.

I hear the sound of water trickling. Following the sound, I reach a small creek. Upon looking at it, something stared back at me; a head made up of grayish, semi-transparent smoke.
