The Light

A Drabble

A drabble is a short work of fiction, that is exactly one hundred words in length.

---

This drabble was inspired by James (HVR) through a delightfully haunting note chain tag game. Go subscribe to his Substack. If you wish to read the prompt you can find it here.

Are my eyes open?

I don’t remember opening them.

But I can’t move.

There is only the light.

It’s been there all along.

I don’t know how long I’ve stared at it, alone, hanging in the darkness.

I can’t move towards it.

I can’t move at all.

There is only me and the light, watching me.

Patiently taunting my paralysis.

I pray that day will come and free me from this nightmare, and yet I’ve been here for what feels like years.

Suspended in nothingness, pitch-black surrounding me.

Am I sinking? Am I floating?

Am I dead?

Is anybody there?
