I stand there blinking in an ocean full of still faces.
Every shift of my body looks like a wave of my arms.
The frozen expressions make me feel alone.
I thought I would be zooming to meet them,
but instead I feel like I’m zooming away.
Their voices ramble on, but their mouths make no movement.
I feel as if I’m the only one, so alone, so scared.
And then the still but colorful ocean turns black,and I panic even more.
The frantic clicking doesn’t help as their voices fade out.
And then there is silence along with stillness.
It’s empty and cold, and I feel so, so alone,
as I sit there in an ocean full of still faces.
