frozen empty

I feel an itchy sting and I... [[open my eyes]]

Cold. So cold. The ground was so cold my bones pressed against the ground hurt the most so I tried to stand. I... [[Wrap my arms tightly around myself]]

So...cold. I'm naked? I can't think. I... [[look around]] [[try to remember what happened]]

A....desert? I look around again trying to see any person or structure or landmark or... anything but there was nothing but white expanse of sand and sky that seemed to almost melt into each other. Can't be. [[My fingers and toes are numb with the cold -> hand]] [[But I can see the sun -> main]]

i will myself “Try to remember!”. I think. Hard. Bed! I was in bed! Mam tucked me in then…. Nothing. I’m asleep! That's it! This is fine! I will wake up in a few minutes and be back in bed. [[I'm ASLEEP!]]

yes thats it! nothing to worry about! I will wake up in my bed at home any second. [[look around]]

I stood for what felt like hours. I don't move. I don't know why I don't move. Then I notice figures in the distance that seem to be moving in my direction. [[I stand.. shivering...Waiting.]]

The hooded figures stop at a distance and one of them gets off their great horse-like creature and approaches me. [[something feels wrong]]

I can't see any face or any real featues. The figure takes me by the wrist and walks toward his companions and creature. [[I follow willingly ->I follow]]

He reaches into a hard cased bag that was attacked to the creature and takes out what looked like a small plastic device. In one movement he jerks my arm and stabbed my arm with the plastic device. [[Ahhhh!]]

I fall to the icy sand. No blood. no real pain even. I'm crying. [[look up]]

The figure who stabbed me looks at his companions and shakes his head. They each nod once. [[what?!]]

One of the hooded figures pulls a small metal device from his cloak and hits a button. A whirring sound seems to eminate from the entire desert for a split second. He puts the device away. The one hooded figure standing, and what felt like staring at me, gets back up on his creature and they all turn and ride away. [[I lie shaking in the burning cold -> end]] [[I rise and stand in the burning cold -> end]]

The sand seemed to come alive. First it moves me across its surface. It falls and becomes like liquid. [[I fall]]

I land in a vertical coffin sized chamber just as flashing lights go dead leaving me alone in the darkness and silence. A tube extends from the side and latches itself to my face. [[scream -> i cant]] [[push it away -> i cant]]

A tube enters your mouth and slides down your throat. [[I pass out ->start]]

I rip a hand from the vice grip around myself and extend it out in front of me to see if the sunlight was hitting me at all. [[This large rough hand isn’t mine.]]

It's ok. [[It's just a dream -> main]]

[[I can't->You can't]]
