At first nothing

 Then breath, lungs moving, heart beating, blood pumping

I open my eyes. 

Ever so dim light yet

Overwhelming, luminous, harsh

Then a voice, spoken from above

Gentle, coaxing, pleading

I turn my head

A Face

Wild hair, pale face, strange features

I stand up

A scream

Why?

Who am I?

Am I a monster?

That creature, that being

He looks at me

I reach towards him

A single hand

Friend?

A Scream, louder, more piercing than the first

The creature runs

Away from me

I am

ALONE
