This was inspired by my avatar. I thought she looked like a fairy only she didn't have wings. So I decided that she was fairy stuck being mortal. This is how imagine the experience of a fairy waking up to mortality. Enjoy and tell me what you think! Maybe I'll make it into a book....
What is this tingling sensation eating at my fingers then up my arms? My toes and up my legs? I can’t see. What is this around me? A veil? I put my hands to my eyes. No, there is nothing. I sit up an look about me. I make out shapes in the distance. No, not a veil, but the absence of light. Darkness- something unheard of to me. I feel wind on my cheek and in my hair, only it’s strange. The sensation in my skin strengthens at its touch. It is now overpowering. I cradle myself in my arms but it doesn’t help. This feeling, it hurts-something foreign to me. I realize I am cold! Not the touch of something else but me-my body! Where am I? Where is the light? The warmth? I stand. The glow of my skin is gone and my body heavy. I know it will never again leave the ground. Then I feel a pounding in my chest. My heart-it’s beating furiously. It’s not that my heart didn’t beat before, it did but softly with a love for life. This beating is heavy and with each beat I feel a part of me being ripped away. I catch my breath at the thought (something suddenly so difficult). Life! My Life! It’s leaving me! Bit by bit! I’m no longer whole! A sharp feeling floods my chest and stomach. It’s not unlike the hurting sensation on my skin and in my bones but it’s deeper. It’s in my soul and can’t be touched. This hurt is so overpowering! I can’t breathe! I fall to my knees. Sadness. Terror. The words break into my mind, echoing on and in the walls now hold up inside of me. I’ve never felt these emotions before. I’ve never heard of them. Then I realize that I’m lost. All I've ever known and loved is gone. Finally then warmth comes in the form of tears. At first I am amazed by them. So strange and almost beautiful; but they soon grow cold and icy, the warmth and life of them gone. Will this be my end as well? Will I have an end? I know and can feel that I will with each beat of my heart. Then I realize what has happened and where I am. Mortality. I am lost in it. Lost in Mortality.
