Reborn

Hard. Yet rubbery.

Dark. Not dark in the sense that there was no light. Rather, there just wasn't enough light. But since when did that pose a problem?

I tried poking at the rubbery surface and although I tried my hardest, I couldn't poke through it. I couldn't get out. I couldn't-

It was sort of like I was in sleep paralysis. Like I was trying to do something with all my might but nothing was happening. I was powerless.

Powerless.

Powerless? But I didn't want to be powerless. I never wanted to be powerless.

Never!

"Water-" a ball of water blitzed violently and sizzled against the rubber. Wetting my body.

Cold.

Sensation?

A trickle, a trickle of light peered through. "Wind." A gust of wind blazed through the hole, tearing it.

More light.

"Sound the alarm!" Someone screamed. "He's awake! He's AWAKE!"
