I've always wondered what it would be like to wake up without being able to see. I never expected that I would one day actually wake up and find my wish granted.
I'm sure my eyes are open, because I can feel the tears forming in them. The world around me is completely black though and I cannot even make out the shapes that I know are there.That should be there. Suddenly I begin to wonder. What if I'm not in the room I think I'm in. Not in the house I'm supposed to wake up in. Not even in the city that I want to be in?
For a second I let the amazement sink in and one could even say I got lost in my strange thoughts. Even though the whole idea was completely ridiculous, I could not shake off the thought that there might be truth to what I was thinking.
My surroundings still remained dark but for some reason I managed not to panic. A weird smell reaches my nose and confirms that the strange thoughts I had might actually be reality.
A scent of mustiness that penetrates my senses. I think I can even detect a weird kind of a smell. Like plants, mosses that grow only in places as dark as the one I'm in right now.
And when I really focus I can even hear a strange noise that sounds like dripping water, falling into a small pool that has formed in time. Only then do I feel the cold sensation of stone of my skin. Not just stone, but soft, mossy and most importantly, moist stone.
The first thought in my mind was: Dungeon. How did I end up in a dungeon, without any light to look around. How did I manage to wake up in a place so completely different than my own bed. A sound suddenly breaks my train of thought, and it takes me a while before I realize that what I'm hearing is myself. Laughing. Giggling. In the dark of a room that I don't recognize nor see.
