nothing nothing nothing
nothing nothing
nothing nothing nothing
nothing nothing
nothing nothing nothing...
I can say nothing... I can do nothing... I can be nothing...
I don't belong here... I don't belong anywhere...
I feel a familiar tugging on my soul but this time it is the empty darkness that calls to me. I fall and fall back into that empty expanse of nothingness, devoid of feeling, devoid of beauty, devoid of light... maybe... maybe this is where I belong after all...
... .... ...
Suddenly a warmth... a small blue fme cradled in the darkness...
A feeling of calm, a feeling of safety, a feeling of comfort...
I slowly come back to my senses, the leaves blowing in the wind, the cold in the air, the warmth in my chest. I look up to see the human kneeling over me both hands pressing down on my chest, a warm blue glow emanating from underneath.
The human opens it's eyes and looks down at me, the sky turning that beautiful amber and pink hue as the sun sets behind the trees.
"ah, awake again are we?"
I stare back tilting my head to meet it's mesmerising gaze, why does it not flee like everything else... why does it comfort something as undesirable as me... why does it-

"I suppose you can't answer that can you..." The human looks at me, a sad expression on it's face "Can you move big one? I have a camp setup not far from here and you're welcome to follow, much nicer then ying here in the snow I'd like to imagine."
With the little strength I have I unsteadily push myself up into a sitting position, the human slowly stands wiping snow off it's clothes and begins to walk beckoning me to follow with a warm smile "I take it that is a yes."
I stand and follow...
