Chapter 34 Beneath The Surface

• The darkness enveloped me completely. It felt as if I was sinking endlessly into a bottomless pit. Cold shadows coiled around my arms and legs, dragging me down like heavy chains. I was frozen, unable to move or breathe. Panic coursed through me, my heart racing so fast I thought it might explode.
• “Asher!” I shouted, but my voice barely broke through the thick darkness. It felt as if the shadows were swallowing my words.
• Silence answered me. Only the deafening roar of the void surrounded me. My chest felt tight, the air thin and stifling, making me feel like I was drowning in the deep blackness.
