Salvia

One hit is all it takes.
To see into another realm.
Is it beautiful?
Is it terrifying?
Terrifying.
I am seeing blue everywhere.
And tiny blue faries.
But then my vision shutters to black.
And when I come to, I have a decaying hand on my shoulder.
I start to scream when I am shot forward by a blast of flames.
Where am I?
I am in a submarine.
We are hit. Being torpedo'd.
Shit! I am running now.
Trying to get to my friends.
Everything is black.
I turn a corner and everything goes still.
The lighting is dimmed here.
I have found them, but it is not them.
On their faces are little aliens.
Sucking out their identities.
Their souls.
Where are there faces?
All I see is a blank canvas.
And then I look past them.
Eyeless creatures.
Demons of silent hill.
Oh fuck!
Is this real?
Of course it is.
How could it not be?
It's so vivid.
I start to run and I am being chased.
I can hear it.
But where is the creature that is tracking me down?
I look behind me. Nothing.
I slow down. Look again, and still nothing.
Then as I turn back, it is in the hallway ahead of me waiting.
For some reason I don't know, I approach it.
It waits. Unmoving.
Is it blind too?
I reach out and touch it.
Then, just like that, I am back with my friends at my house.
But I feel a hovering presence the rest of the night.
Lingering over my shoulder.
Is this how it was suppossed to be?
Is this how it would feel to lose your sanity?
Not knowing truth from reality?
