The Shade

It’s out to get you. Once you’re in, you’ll never see a way back. You’ll feel a pounding headache and you can hear your heart pumping faster as your body attempts to compensate and cope. It embraces your mind, body and soul and you’ll feel nothing but darkness and cold. You might be able to see and hear bits of the outside world, but they might seem faded and distorted. You’ll hear a lot of wind as the rest of the world rushes by without you. You cry out. They might be able to hear you, but you can’t hear them. Instead, you hear a loud, high ringing pitch sound. You may feel faint and dry and all you can hear are your own thoughts. You may begin to sweat and panic in the heat of the moment. You may hear a foreign voice as you begin to pass out.
