Dazed. Neon lights and the euphoric music settled gradually on me as they turned into graceful moths and enchanting fireflies. The glaring crimson strands and strands of silk made of the beautiful creatures wrapped me into a dome shape cocoon. It was dark, pitch dark. Thoughts are running through my mind as the treadmill’s speed increases and increases… Oxygenated water engulfed me it gushes through the tiny hole at the bottom of the cocoon. I gasped for help but to no avail. I was asphyxiating. The water level is at my neck, at my nose and then finally over my head. It’s a silent struggle. My fists are clenched and my leg muscles are tensed. I want to break free but I could not. Shortly, my whole body felt numb and at the same time, I had a sensation as though a thousand needles are injected into me one by one. I guess it is not the right time for me to see the world yet. Endurance and persistence are the two companions that I must have in order to cross this hurdle of flame. No one will be there for me…
