This all feels
right, as if it were somehow inexorably linked to who you are, and for the life of you you can't figure out
why. The shadows grow, swallowing up the edges of the room, swirling around until you stand in a tiny patch of light, peering down at one of the smaller tables. You kneel, resting on a cushion, when something catches your eye. It is a tiny shrine, barely the size of your hand, with a small depression in the center, a few stray leaves resting within. Slowly, as if in a trance, you reach out to flick a switch on the side. A single golden spark shoots from a slot in the side of the depression, catching the leaves. They burn slowly, releasing a thick, pungent smoke.
The shadows have closed in, confining you, holding you in place. You sit for seconds-hours-days-years-forever, breathing deeply, your mind drifting free from your body, upward and outward. The vivid familiarity of this sensation gives way to another which is almost painfully close to your mind, an intense feeling of being pulled, pushed, sucked through a tiny hole, as if all of the universe was commanding you to be moved. The pain intensifies, a deep burning within your chest and head.
You wake, again, your mouth feeling as if you have had nothing to drink for a month. You shiver violently. Looking at your arm, the sickly coloring has faded away, and the gash has scabbed over. When you touch it with your good hand it still twinges with pain; you can't really tell if the fracture is any better. You can make out a hulking form standing over you, and a moment later the familiar form of Basin rises into your field of view. You are desperately thirsty.
