she woke up only to find herself surrounded by four walls...she rubbed her eyes just to make sure she didnt visualise the wrong thing...but everything was real...so real...she scanned around the place with her blurred vision...and found a door...a door which appeared to be so mysterious...she had no courage to open the door which seemed to lead her into an unknown civilisation...but nonetheless...she gathered all her mights and her courage which she had received somehow...and opened the door...
the birghtness outside the door almost blinded her...she guessed it was because she was trapped in the darkness for too long...out she went into the birghtness...she wasnt used to the brightness and the warmth in the new enviroment...she was used to the cold, unfriendly and dark place...she dragged her feet until she saw somewhere which looked familiar to her...the place was crowded with people...with all kinds of people...the nice ones...the kind ones...and even the cruel ones...nobody noticed her...everyone was busy with their own things...she saw unfamiliar faces in that familiar place...she was petrified and tried to scream to attract attention so that people could come to her rescue...she started to scream...however...not a single vowel came out of her mouth...she tried again and again...but to no avail...this time....she let out a helpless cry...and it helped...suddenly...she saw that everything came to a halt...even her watch on ther wrist stopped ticking...the wind stopped blowing...and the buzzing sound which kept her head throbbing in pain non stop, also came to a stop...
at that moment...she thought everything was going to end...however it did not...soon after her helpless cry...the throbbing pain in her head came back...everything returned one by one...everything started to move again...she was alone and she was scared...but no one came to her rescue as no one could sense her presence in that crowded place...she thought of crying again...but this time...it did not helped...she was so exhausted from everything that she could not project her voice loud enough to cover the noisy environment...
she thought everything was just a dream...a fantasy...but she was wrong...everything was real...she was awake...
she could not think of anymore ideas except to continue walking...alone and helplessly...with her blurred vision...buzzing sound in her ears and throbbing pain in her head...hoping some day...she will walk back to a familiar place which is filled with faces that are familiar to her...
