I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process. -Vincent Van Gogh
Everything was black and it stayed like that for a while until my eyes opened but when they opened I wasn't in the water and my tail was gone.
I was smaller and I had legs. My vision was weird to because I could no longer see clearly, I could only see part of my surroundings, the rest was a blur.
My hands were small, my loose curly hair was in little ponytails and it seemed I was in a child's outfit. One fitting for a little girl, was I a child? And who's child was I?
I looked up and saw some children running around me into large rooms and they were much larger than me. Lots of the children ignored me standing in the middle of nowhere and continued with their own business until two large boys came up to me.
One with a large bandage on the side of his face and short hair and the other missing a tooth with a similar hairstyle and a cap turn backward. The two large boys were vivid to me while other children were blurry and seem to fade.
I looked up at the two large boys and they grinned widely almost like heart-racing monsters and for some reason my small body started to tremble. Was I scared of them? And why? They only just walked up to me..
I wanted to say something but my lips couldn't move and my body was still, the boy with the bandage came over and grabbed the rim of my collar dress and lifted my small body off the ground with one hand. The other hand he put into my hair and started digging deep into scalp, making me scream.
Soon after though he loosen up his grip because a band of kids came along and one of them sounded really familiar, nostalgic even. But, I couldn't catch a glimpse of their kids' faces because everything started going really bright and it felt like I was slowly fading out of this little body of mine, watching the world slowly fade away.
