Graduation Void

[whispers] It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the sun was… too bright. [uncomfortable] Blindingly white. And the applause? It didn’t sound like clapping. It sounded muffled. Distant. Like I was underwater. [breathing unevenly] I could feel the sweat running down my neck. Just ten more steps to the podium. Just ten more steps to the end. My hand reached out. [trembling] I just wanted to grab the microphone. [beat] But the moment I touched it… [sharp inhale] [silence] Darkness. Absolute, heavy darkness. And then, the words burned into my mind… *That was a bad idea.* [fearful] When the light returned… the crowd was gone. The chairs were overturned. The sky… was just a black void. [shaky breath] I’m all alone up here. And I don’t think I can ever leave.
