Dazed+and+Really+Confused

Christian Handel I was dazed and confused, it appeared as though I was on a wooden ship, but it was not floating in the vast ocean. It was floating miles upward from any landform with a trail of purple haze following closely. I could see all of this from a hole in the hull, I was held in the absolute bottom of the vessel. Minutes turned to hours, and hours turned to days, and all the while I sat in contemplation, “why am I here?, where am I going?, and for what?”. Increasingly hard to breath, the air seemed to be limited and running low. Suddenly an indefinite force over took the vessel a fog, or haze as it were. The air refilled around me, but light did not, I was in space headed to dark unknown territory. There had not been much noise lately, or ever since my experience in this dark crawlspace, maybe I have been alone this whole time, maybe I was sent on a one way ride to my death. But why was I not killed instantly from lack of air? The giant ball of fog had been supplying the whole area with oxygen. After hours of thinking, my only conclusion was, to break loose and search the ship for any clue to what may lie ahead. I knocked on the floor boards above me to see which area would be suitable to breakthrough. Fortunately a small hole had seemingly rotted completely through an 8x10 support beam. I began ripping small chunks of semi-rotted cedar from above me. I got to the point to where I could stick my head through and see what I had been isolated from… Speechless, I stood in awe. I have not been aware my eyes could conceive such a sight. The Earth, moon, stars, and the glorious warmth and comfort from the sun, and the light it shines on all…. “To see what I have seen, you will need to be much more than the average. Much more than any gold medalist…only a traveler of time and space could behold what I have witnessed” – Average American
