Sitting alone, in a corner, by myself, my thoughts twirling all about. Trying to find a piece of sanity, I search through my mind, knowing that is my only way out! Even as reality skitters on the edge of my mind, an alter-reality consumes all, knocks what is real out, over the edge.

I am now left to live what is not here, what is not real. My entire mind is consumed in a milky haze, what is real and what is not blend together. Everything is knocked out of contrast, out of focus. I no longer see with my eyes, feel with my hands, smell with my nose, or taste with my mouth. I have been robbed of all my normal functions, I now live in a world between,
a world of voices, of thoughts, an astral plain.

Whatever the mind can conceive is what is born into my new world. In this world I am the new King, this is now my domain. To be born into a world of thoughts and perceptions, to be taken out of reality and thrown into this world,
I don't know if I should be mad or take it as a blessing, an escape from everyday life. An escape from all the hurt, to be free from the anger and fear and sadness of the regular world.

What have I done to deserve this, have I been bad or good? where is this new world of mine? Am I the only inhabitant, or are there others? Am I given the choice to go back to the other place, or am I destined to be trapped here in this void? So many questions, but no answers seem to come. But I still ask, where am I? what will become of me?

And then a sound rings out to me. It is distant, but I can hear it, feel it, see its vibrations ringing out towards me. Is it an answer to my questions, or another coming into my world? Either way, I will get an answer or have a companion to share this strange world with me.

Suddenly I am jolted, thrown. what is happening? Bright lights flood my world. All my thoughts disappear. I find myself sitting in my cell, in the real world. I am back, but was I ever really gone? Or was it all just a dream conjured up by some part of my subconscious mind. It is all so strange. It all felt so real, but here I sit, in the real world, in reality  or,  is this all really just a dream ??
