Mirage Heart

[dramatispersonae]

At first, it feels like your limbs have gone totally limp and you’re floating gently underwater, slowly and serenely making your way down a dark blue abyss... and then it occurs to you you’re actually flying rather than being engulfed, and it's actually the deep blue sky stretching out around you in every direction. It’s awe inspiring, and it leaves you with a wonderful feeling of being completely capable and free...

That is, until you begin having difficulties, your body is too unbalanced and heavy to keep the flying up. It soon becomes apparent the floating feeling you’ve been having is actually falling, and as if to reflect the realization, the velocity changes immediately to a gut-wrenching DROP.  The world blurs, the sound of something shattering echoes in your ears, and your body feels like it is about to be pulled apart as something CRUNCHES.

The experience leaves you utterly befuddled. It takes a while to regain your senses...

Alright!

[ Good. Because the water under your feet is suddenly not solid at all, and you're sinking under! ]

[ As you are engulfed, your vision goes black... and then you wake up here. ]
