Light. Blinding white light flashes across his vision accompanied with a searing hot pain coursing through his entire body. It was like his entire body was set on fire. He tried to scream but he couldn’t open his mouth.
And then nothing. Everything went dark and his body slammed down into the ground. He groaned as he flipped himself over so that he was flat on his back instead of lying on his front. Opening his eyes everything was a blur, he could make out a figure but that was about it, he couldn’t make out what it was doing or any details about it whatsoever. “Who’s there?”
Michael was out on one of his walks in a feeble attempt to clear his busy mind. Suddenly, a bright flash of light entered his vision and he threw up his hands to shield his eyes. A man had suddenly appeared before his eyes, and Michael could only describe it as falling from the sky or materializing out of thin air. “Hey, man. Are you okay?” Michael called out in a quiet voice, running to the other’s side and pulling the hood from the man’s shielded face.
Michael’s face went slack as he saw the stranger’s face – it looked just like his.
