Something's got my soul.

Someone's claimed my body.

I can't feel my face.

I can't see.

I'm not scared.

In fact, I've never been more curious.

I begin to float.

My feet are no longer tethered to the ground.

Large hands encompass my waist.

I am relieved.

There is no telling how long I have been in this state.

The strong hands pull me down. 

I can't breathe. 

I'm not scared.

In fact, I've never been more curious.

All of the sudden my nerves are on fire.

My chest becomes heavy.

My eyes begin to water.

I am lost.
