Where the hell am I? It's like with garvey, a sea of nothing? Shadows woosh past me. Am I in hell? No, a sea of black, something much, much worse.

  I hit the ground and tumble on my face. "Alice?!" My hand slips on something. The object curls open, dropping something in my hand. I roll it around. An empty shotgun shell? "Anyone?!" A series of squeals echo toward me. A shadow comes close, it manifests as a man. He mutters to himself, "Who am I again?" This is what everything came to?

  Wait, why am I here? Alice, Peacekeeper. I pound my head, desperate to remember.

  A purple light glows from my hand, revealing the creatures and people. An echo comes to me, "Nick?!" I run towards it. "Alice?!" The monsters follow, yet keep their distance. "Nick?!" I shine my hand on her. "Alice?" She gets up and hugs me in a panic, "Nick! Where are we?! Where-" "Focus, we need to get out."

  Her eyes glow a dim purple. She pulls away and looks around. "I can see- everything." What could be here? I hope there's an exit, "There's a door, c'mon!" She pulls my hand along and it creaks open.
