This is just the first page from a 'book' I wrote, if your bored give it a read, I'm very open to criticism since my writing has always felt sort of amateur. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t feel either, I had no memory, I was just there, existing. Although I could feel something in the atmosphere around me, it felt like energy, as it began to reverberate through me, like an echo that spread veins. I’m unsure how long I was there for, just letting this energy course through me, filling me up, well I don’t know what was being filled up, until I was able to make out light. It was dim and almost… well, I couldn’t think of the word, I felt so out of place, but then I started to feel, it wasn’t right though, I knew where my body was but it didn’t feel like nerves, just awareness. I looked at my hand, and although still calm I was confused, my hand was white, in fact it didn’t have any flesh on it, I curled my dead fingers into a fist, and looked down at the rest of my body, my bones lay against the floor and yet I can feel it, still confused about what was going on, like where was I, why was I a… What are those bone things called again?
I pressed my hands into the stone floor to try to push myself up, and get my feet under me, I felt wobbly, and it was odd to try to stand without feeling anything, I could feel that energy in my legs, but it wasn’t nerves, it was like an essence, keeping my joints together. I took a few steps, almost stumbling to the ground, I looked around the musty room, It had old chiseled stone floors and walls, and a heavy wooden door in the corner. There was a table to the left of me with a lamp on it. I walked over and saw a big metal key, and a satchel, I threw the key into the satchel, and awkwardly put it around my shoulders. What to do now? I looked to the door, and slowly approached it, I put the side of my head up to it, even without ears I seemed to be able to hear, so I hoped for the best.
I heard nothing, so reaching out for the handle, I opened the door with a light tug, it groaned on its hinges and I would’ve flinched if I had facial features, when the dust was unsettled and drifted into the air. I peeked my head out the doorway, it led into two hallways, both leading into darkness, I quickly went back to grab the lantern, before continuing out into the hallway. The dim light had my shadow walking along the wall with me. I had turned right and was wandering for what seemed to be minutes until I came to two doors to my sides and what seemed like a large open room ahead of me. Removing the large key from my satchel, I tried the key on both the doors to no avail and moved onward to the open room. Why am I here? I have a strong desire to find something, but I don’t I know what it is? Confusion still rattled around in my hollow head, I dismissed it when I noticed something different, the energy in the air felt stronger, I felt closer to what I needed.
I looked around the large room, concluding that it was a crypt, stone tables had old urns on it and mass catacombs covered the walls. why would I be here if the other skeletons aren’t coming back? The hum of energy got stronger as I walked deeper into the room, my lamp lit some stairs ahead of me, deciding to venture that pulling hum of energy felt as if it was just past the stairs.
