My Continuations

There was darkness as far as the eye could see.
I had just woken up. I groped around in the dark, but could not sense anything nearby. My senses seemed to be dormant, as I could not feel anything, see anything, or smell anything. All that I could feel was that I was in pain, and that I was not in bed somehow.

Defeat was in the midst, as I saw the prize diminish right before my eyes.
I had always been the best. I was always on top for everything. I had worked harder than everyone put together, at least, so it felt. I had gotten used to this; yet I was myself far from where I should be, which is in the number two slot, in a three-way tie. Whatever this was, it sure was different this time around.

A falling sensation overcame myself.
I sprinted down that hill like a cheetah at full force. Yet, there was that mossy stone, and then a thud. Suddenly, I was on the ground, shaken, seemingly unable to move. I had gotten up after a minute or so, but then couldn't hold up much longer. The pain in my ankle was sharp, and what was it? No one really knew.

The potential of those beady, blue eyes seemed infinite.
Yet, she doubted herself. She seemed to have a great knowledge of the world as a whole, and it came across as odd that she had no idea as to what "vicarious" meant. I had always been the helpful type, so I offered my best advice and consolation. Where this act of good will would take me was far from expected.

The silky gloss of fur was my best memory of the rabbits.
They were my favorite animals, and I had gotten two of them. I had two sisters, yet, these rabbits seemed to be like my brothers, of whom I had none before. It seemed that they understood me better than anyone else. When I spoke to them, they just looked at me, noses twitching, seeming to nod with approval. They would be determining my life for the next two years.
