Awaking for the first time in what seemed like years seemed like pure ecstasy. Until I saw the natural light for the first time. Then I realized that was the true feeling of warmth, and happiness that was eluding me. After being imprisoned for so long I thought darkness was gonna be my only company for eternity. I had been told fighting for freedom would come with sacrifice including potentially my life. This was pretty easy to accept the hard part was what came next. Being dropped into what was already a hostile warzone was intimidating. Having to ration food and water was a slight worry, but being taken by the enemy and shut away in a modernized dungeon made all of these concerns miniscule. Ever feeling the sun on my face again had become a pipe dream to me I never believed would come true. Finally though after I’m not sure how long the doors opened on the makeshift prison cell I was locked away in. At first assuming this would be the end I saw the uniforms of soldiers from my homeland. Could this really be my salvation? Indeed it was I was finally to be freed from the darkness I had been left to perish in. Feeling the sun on my skin for the first time had to be best feeling physically ever felt. Even though the light was blinding I could do nothing but try to stare into it and soak in the feeling of freedom. Just the smell of the outside world gave me a new lease on life. Washing away all of the despair that had cluttered my mind since my imprisonment. The sun was beating down harshly and intense as they walked me to the transport vehicle. It was still one of the best things imaginable. Feeling some level of warmth and seeing natural light had restored much of what was left of me spiritually after the agonizing time spent in that pitch black cell. The warm light seemed so refreshing it was almost as if I could taste it. Something so simply natural had reinvigorated what I had thought to be a broken mind, and man once again.
