It hurt.

Every atom of her entire being felt like it was being ripped apart and put back together, slowly and all at once. Her body was on fire and ice at the same time, both torn asunder and brokenly whole. All she could think of was of the pain, the endless, ceaseless onslaught of misery,

She wanted to scream, but she had no mouth. She wanted to cry, but she didn't have tears. She wanted it all to stop, but she didn't exist, she wasn't there. She was the pain, that was all there was to her.

Except she knew that it wasn't.

Amidst the pain, amidst the torturous nothing of existence, she found a small nugget. Something that told her that no, this wasn't all she was. She wasn't just pain.

There was something more to it. Something more than pain.
