There was a sound… then nothing at all… I remember falling without knowing why, the room went silent in a single blink of time. The floor came rushing faster than my breath, a quiet kind of violence I could never catch. No pain at first, just a fading light, like slipping out of something I was meant to fight. And in the dark behind my closing eyes, a thousand lives began to flicker by. Frames of moments I forgot I knew, faces passing like they never stayed. I tried to reach for something true, but everything just drifted away… I tried to scream, but it wouldn’t come out, just broken words falling under my mouth. The world went distant, fading to black, I was losing myself… I couldn’t come back. If you could hear me, I was calling your name, trapped in the silence, stuck in between. Then through the noise, through the static and fear you were the only thing I could hear. My body heavy, like it wasn’t mine, every second stretching out of time. Lips were moving but the sound was wrong, a language lost between weak and gone. Somewhere near, but miles away, I felt you calling through the haze. A voice I knew, a voice so clear, cutting through everything I feared. Every shadow tried to pull me down, every memory blurred and broke. But then your voice became the sound the only truth I could hold. I tried to scream, but it wouldn’t come out, just quiet trembling under my mouth. The world was slipping out of my grasp, I was fading too fast… fading too fast. If you could hear me, I was calling your name, lost in the space where nothing remains. Then through the dark, through the drifting unknown you pulled me back… you brought me home. I heard you… I heard you say my name… And I found my way back… I tried to speak, and it finally broke through, a whisper turned into something I knew. Your voice was louder than all of the fear, the moment I knew that you were still here. I wasn’t gone, I was just out of reach, lost in the silence I couldn’t defeat. But when I heard you calling me back I followed your voice… and I made it back. Just say my name… I’ll find my way…
