Quote I just lost a whole post arggahishdisojshshsidksiaojdhdis. I'll need like 5 min to type it up again Mike woke up, back in the snow. He groaned as he sat up. Where am I? He heard footsteps crunching in the snow as they approached him. "Hello, Michael." His heart nearly stopped and he looked up to see who had spoken, though he had heard that voice a thousand times before. It was his mother. @The Aspiring Archivist Edited October 28, 2023 by Experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His skin was extremely pale. ... His mother smiled. It was a smile Mike hadn't seen in years, one that actually meant 'I love you.' Mike quickly got to his feet. "Mom? ...how are you...?"

After a fit of coughs, he began to breathe normally again. He glanced over at Erin and saw their unconscious form. After a moment of apparent shock, he rushed over to their side and placed his hand on their shoulder, willing them to be healed. "Come on, Erin. Please be okay." ... Mike shakes his head.

Michael didn't make any noise for a few moments, a concentrated look on his face. "Maybe we should try going back up the canyon. I don't think it's safe to stay near the river." ... "Why of course it is." His mother's tone becomes less pleasant. "You of all people should remember what happened to this place." Mike turns and runs towards the front door. He bursts through and almost barrels into his mother. He skids to a stop and sees that he is back where he started. "What have you done to me?" He starts mumbling to himself. "Wake up, Mike. Wake up." A screen of some sort appears on the wall before them. It shows a figure standing upright, completely surged in water. A chain connected to the ground is wrapped around his ankle. Mike turns pale. He was seeing himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
