I’ve been trapped in a pitch black box for days. Am I insane? Am I dead?

I have no idea where I am, how I’m here, or how long I’ve been here. All I know is that I’m trapped inside a small, box-like room with no visible doors or windows. The walls are cold and made of some kind of metal, with no handles, hinges, or buttons to open the door.<br><br>The darkness is suffocating, and I can barely see my own hand in front of my face. The air is stale and recycled, and I can hear a faint humming noise coming from the walls. I’m lying on a cold, hard floor, with no pillow or blanket to comfort me.<br><br>I’ve tried screaming for help, but my voice echoes off the walls and is swallowed up by the emptiness. I’ve tried feeling my way around the room, but there are no edges or corners to guide me. I’ve even tried counting the seconds, but time seems to have lost all meaning in this endless darkness.<br><br>I’m starting to feel like I’m going crazy. My mind is playing tricks on me, and I’m starting to see things that aren’t there. Shadows dance across the walls, and I can hear whispers in my ear. I’m starting to wonder if I’m still alive, or if this is some kind of hellish afterlife.<br><br>I’ve tried to remember how I got here, but my memories are fuzzy and unclear. I vaguely remember being in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses in white coats. I remember feeling weak and disoriented, and I think I might have been sedated.<br><br>But how did I end up here? And where is “here,” exactly? Is this some kind of prison, or a secret government facility? Am I a prisoner, or a patient? And how long will I be trapped in this darkness?<br><br>I’ve tried to keep track of time, but it feels like an eternity since I’ve seen any light. I’ve lost count of the days, and I’m starting to feel like I’ll never see the sun again. I’m starting to feel like I’ll be trapped in this darkness forever.<br><br>As I lie here, my mind starts to wander. I think about my family and friends, and how much I miss them. I think about my life before this, and all the things I took for granted. I think about the sun on my skin, and the wind in my hair.<br><br>And then, I hear a noise. It’s a faint rustling sound, followed by footsteps outside the door. I can hear the sound of a key turning, and the creak of a door opening. I can see a sliver of light, and I feel a warm glow on my skin.<br><br>I’ve never felt so alive.<br><br>As the door opens, I see a figure standing in the doorway. It’s a woman with long, curly hair and a kind smile. She’s wearing a white coat, and she looks like a doctor.<br><br>“Hello,” she says, as she steps inside the room. “My name is Dr. Lee, and I’m here to help you. You’ve been in this room for a very long time, and I know it can’t have been easy. But I’m here now, and I’m going to take care of you.”<br><br>I’m too stunned to speak, and I can only nod in response. Dr. Lee steps closer, and she puts a hand on my shoulder.<br><br>“How are you feeling?” she asks, as she looks into my eyes. “Are you okay?”<br><br>I nod again, still speechless. Dr. Lee smiles, and she helps me to my feet.<br><br>“Let’s get you out of here,” she says, as she leads me out of the room. “You’ve been in the dark for far too long.”<br><br>As we walk down a long corridor, I can see the outlines of other rooms. I can hear the sound of footsteps and murmurs, and I wonder who else is trapped in this place. I wonder if they’re patients, or prisoners, and if they’ll ever see the light again.<br><br>Dr. Lee leads me to a bright, sunny room filled with plants and flowers. There’s a window with a view of the outside, and I can see the sun shining through the glass. I feel a sense of joy and wonder, and I realize that I’ve been given a second chance.<br><br>I turn to Dr. Lee, and I smile. “Thank you,” I say, as I look into her eyes. “I was starting to think I’d never see the light again.”<br><br>Dr. Lee smiles back, and she puts a hand on my shoulder. “You’re safe now,” she says. “You’re going to be okay.”<br><br>As I look out the window, I realize that I’ve been given a gift. I’ve been given a chance to start over, and to see the world in a new light. I’ve been given a chance to appreciate the beauty of life, and to never take anything for granted again.<br><br>And as I stand there, basking in the warmth of the sun, I know that I’ll never forget this experience. I’ll never forget the feeling of being trapped in darkness, and the joy of being set free.
