//------------------------------// // Into the Light // Story: The Bright White Light // by Duniman //------------------------------// I'm in a dream, or at least this feels like a dream. The room is big and dark except for a bright light in the center. It's coming off of a box like object I can barely see due to the brightness of the light. I hear something behind me but I don't turn, all my moves are made for me, instead I start typing on a keyboard. The light changes and I see a location. I can't remember what the location was, but I remember being happy about it for some reason. Then there was chaos. The machine stopped showing at the location and sparks came from everywhere in the room. An odd box I had on my belt flipped out and I was electrocuted for a second or two. I go to turn around but it's too late. * THUD* I wake up instantly but where ever I am, it's too dark to see. At least it feels like I'm on some sort of path. I have a headache and I don't remember anything more than that dream. I feel around and I feel tree bark. "Ok, most likely I'm in some sort of forest. If I stay on this path long enough, I should get out." I thought. The more I walked, the more I thought I was never going to see sunlight again. It felt like I was there for days, but I ended up finding light. I ran towards it as fast as I could and saw it was night time. I decided it would be best if I just gathered some leaves and made a little bed by the forest entry. Why not? I have all the time in the world to worry about my life. When I wake up I see a bunny, and it looks very angry at me. I don't know if I should be scared for my life or hugging its brains out. It stomps on my head a few times making me awake, and hungry for some bunny stew. "What's the big idea?" I yelled at the small woodland creature standing in front of me. He made some strange gestures with his body but I seemed to be able to understand the jist of what he was saying. It was saying something about carrots, I think. "Look I don't know what the hell you are trying to say to me but I'm not sure if I like It." the bunny was looking a lot angrier than a bunny should look. It was at this point that I realized I had camped out on a carrot farm. I only had time to mutter two words- "BRING IT!" WHO KNEW FLUFFY PAWS COULD HURT SO MUCH! It was like his fur was made of concrete! I sat there for about two minutes getting the crap kicked outa me by a rabbit. One day in this world and I'm already not enjoying it. I’m not completely sure when I passed out but the next thing I knew I was in someone’s house. I had a blanket over me and thankfully everything seemed to be intact. I rubbed at a few of my many bruises and started to wonder out loud, “Now where in the hell am I?”
