It started with the color blindness. Gradually I stopped seeing the color in the world, not noticing until I could no longer tell my colored pencils apart. People stopped noticing me, sometimes I would bump into people to see them turn around and look straight through me. It was best on empty trails when no one else was out. However, it all took a turn for the worse one April morning. I was having my morning cup of coffee when the handle of the mug slipped directly through my hand. I tried picking it back up, but the mug was as hard to grab as a cloud. I could feel its substance curling around my fingers like sediment in a dirty pond. The ground began feeling like mud, no matter whether it was dirt or concrete. I continued to fade, sometimes passing through even my own body. I wondered if there were others like me, who faded from reality and sank to the bottom of the earth. Were they nice? Were they sane? That was all I could think of as I gradually became less and less affected by the world around me. Then, one day when I was chest deep in the earth a dog started following me around. I started feeling more like myself an I saw the dog come back day after day to play around me. I started sinking less. I followed the dog around too, and saw where it slept. I could stay around that bench for days, the rain stopped touching me a long time ago. That bench eventually became solid enough for me to sit on. I could pet the dog a few days later. Then, during a wet fall, I felt my first raindrop in months. A few weeks later, I could interact with people again. I still can't see all of my colors yet, but I know that will come soon.
I finished writing this at 12:56 at night.
