Sacrifice Yourself

"Snow."

"Snow White."

"We are waiting for you."

"It is urgent we speak with you."

I opened my eyes and noticed a tiny blue light shining above my head.

It flitted around like a pixilette but was much smaller.

I was in what looked like a black box. No windows. No doors. Just four sparkling black walls, a ceiling, and a floor.

"Snow, please hurry."

"This is urgent."

I reached out a finger to touch the light. The voices seemed to come from it, but it darted away.

"I can't get out. There's no door," I whispered, standing. As I spoke, a door appeared, and I gasped, hoping for escape.

But my hope was short-lived, for on the other side of the door was more darkness. As my heart fell, the dark became a tunnel.

I took a tentative step, and as I did, more of the tunnel appeared.

"Where am I?" The blue lights flicked down the shaft, making it obvious they wanted me to follow.

After a few moments, I stopped and looked back the way I came, but there was nothing to see.
