Lost
You are wandering through the inner recesses of an old castle. There are winding hallways, closed doors, spiraling stairs, and so many dark rooms. You came in here looking for something, but that which you came in search of cannot be found; and now, you have become so confused and have forgotten exactly what it was you came to find. You wonder if you can turn around and leave the castle. A panic arises– you must turn around, or you will die in the castle. But which way is back and which way is forward? You don’t know which direction you came from and there are so many doors and dark, empty halls. You whip around; and again; and again, until you are spinning in circles. Now, up is down and down is up. You can’t tell your right from your left anymore. You are lost, and the harder you try to get out, the deeper you become trapped in the hidden darkness of the old castle. You scream out for help.
And a voice comes back to you.
But there is no answer.
Just
an echo,
piercing through the empty darkness.
