I sat on the floor, looking outside. It was snowing, and you could see icicles hanging from the top of the window. It was so cold in the room I could see my breath.
I looked around the empty room; I was alone. In that moment I felt if nothing were inside me. As if, something had devoured my soul. I was resigned, and nothing seemed to phase me.
Suddenly, lightning flashed, and hail came down. Making pops as it hit the roof. Black clouds filled the sky, making for an ominous feel. I stood, and went to the window, to find the snow gone.
The rain started pouring down, and wind began to blow. I saw big waves in the distance. A hurricane was starting. The roof started to fold in. A mist came through the cracks.
Then, the roof caved in. A fire started to blaze through the empty room. After a moment, the fire ceased; the house looked demolished. Charred remains laid on the ground.
I was now standing outside, it was around twilight. Graves surrounded me; most of them were worn down from the elements. One of the graves I was studying had ‘Anozi’ written on the front. My heart contracted.
As I lost my breath, the earth began to shake. Two tectonic plates crashed, sending a volcano to appear ten feet from me. It erupted, magma on the ground. Before the lava touched my feet, the volcano disappeared.
A labyrinth appeared where the volcano had set only a moment ago. A picture of a key hung on an outside wall. The key was hidden in the labyrinth.
Nightfall came. I laid down on the cold ground, and watched the sky. The moon was full, and bright. A comet streaked across the sky.
The comet gave me such an overwhelming feeling. Like life, it streaked across the sky so fast, and then it ends as soon as it comes.
The end was near, and I knew it. Why should I wait now? I picked up the knife lying beside of me. I examined it’s sharp, silver blade. Then I jammed the knife into my chest. It pierced my heart.

I awoke breathing hard. It was only a dream.
