Mater Flamme

I can open my eyes, move them even but I can't see anything. It's dark. I can't feel the bed I once fell asleep on, am I floating? I can't tell, it's very dark to the point where I can't even see my hands, I can look down but I can't see my legs. There is no wind but it's cold and quiet. 

*Ba-bump* *Ba-bump* 

I can hear my heart beat fill up my ears. *Ba-bump* 

Like drums of the Congo, it beats repeatedly against my chest. I can feel my flowing, it feels like a warm sensation surging through the inside of my body as the outside remains cold. 

*Ba-bumpk* A candle was suddenly lit in the room near my feet. However I'm unable to move my body to get close to the only light in the room that holds any warmth. I can only see it on my peripheral. Just barely feeling the warmth on my feet. 

I cannot stand or move my body but I can move my eyes. 

*Ba-bunk*
