[hometext] => Hey, everyone. This is my first posting in a long while, so hopefully it won't be that bad. I hope you like it.
[bodytext] => Fetid darkness blankets my path, rendering sight useless. I walk slowly, cautiously, my short, faltering steps leading me ever onwards towards a future I do not know or care to understand. Wind, thin as a whisper, swirls around me, bringing with it a biting cold that chills me to my bones. I draw my cloak closer, it’s velvet skin shielding me, protecting me from the elements. The wet, watery ground sinks to accommodate feet that have grown numb from trudging. I shudder, spasms racking my body as pain invades my perceptions as would an unwanted guest, denying me rest. The air grows colder, rendering my garments useless to me. I fall to my knees, breath beginning to leave my lungs, as I try desperately to keep hold of life. Feeling begins to drift away, leaving me newborn on the dark path. I let the void take me, sinking into the warm embrace of nothingness.
