The Haunting Sky

In those wilted hours where the mind is a swimmer in a lightless pool, I thought I heard a sigh not of my own. Heavy eyelids opened as I surfaced, dark eyes searching an unfamiliar room. Then that voice behind that sigh took upon itself a form. I gazed aghast as my own body was revealed, forced to watch as it stumbled blindly from wall to wall, then I also sighed suddenly perceiving that this doorless place was where all haunted nights must come to, to once again recall one bright fleeting day of joy and how it died.

So much in this one - I feel it needs a surrealist to paint it (will your budget stretch from a typist to an artist?) I enjoyed this one
