8th part of my untitled story

     (...) The hopelessness put an idea between his thoughts. "Am I dead?"

      Adam could hardly breath. The effor of running so fast was exhausting for his thin body. He had never been very athletic. When he was a child, he used to prefer staying at home with his toys or watching cartoons rather than going outside and play with the other children. He was going to stop when the light seemed bigger. This incentive was enough to recover his strength.With a sudden sprint, he started a desesperate race.

     In a few seconds, the light looked as big as the Moon. It felt warm and calming. Once he was just under it, he felt hipnotized. The shine was hurting his eyes, but he did not mind. He did not realize how his legs failed to him, nor how he felt on the floor. He did not realized how everything seemed to disappear, nor how the shine got bigger and bigger. Then, a nasty sensation invaded him with no warn. He smelt something unknown and dirty, and the space around him was a little hotter. He did not want to appart his eyes from that captivating tiny Sun, but he felt that something was going wrong. The image that he saw when he did it was even more terryfing than any other of the past.

     It was the abyssal fish from the beginning. In front of him. Opened mouth. Sharp teeth. Empty eyes. Fierce hunger. 

     The only thing Adam could do is look at it. Stepping out from his body, two skelletal and amorphous arms appeared, making a sarcastic reverence. It was grotesque. Then, from the slimmy funnel that was the existant dark cavity between its lips appeared a woman, Muriel, again."Your fault", she said. But she did not say it once. She repeated and repeated that sentence as a creepy song. Adam could not resist more and he tried to move, but some seaweeds were firmly trapping his legs. "When did this happen?", he though, desesperate. He could see a rock near him, and an idea (bad or good, it did not matter) cossed his mind.

     When the hard and irregular sphere hit that monster, making it lose one of its eyes, everything got absolutely iluminated and clear. The image was devastating (and even more with the scarying shout of the hurt creature. It was the beautiful scenery of the first dream, an impressive mixure of sea and forest. Nevertheless, it was all dead. Everything. From the most little fish to the seaweeds, that were in state of decay. Rasps and skelletons were thrown everywhere. Also, the setting was not the only thing that got clare. Suddenly, Adam recovered his memory. He was overwhelmed. He was not sure whether he was dreaming or not. It was his first unrealistic dream, and he was confused about the words of her wife. The "lightbulb" of the fish, before the explosion of light, was like if it had got faulty, so, then, everything was dark and confusing. He could still feel the presence of the monster. Next, he could feel how one of its hand catched his head and lifted him in the air, leading him to faint.
