Lost: Dark Paradise

I opened up Monday morning with this chill screaming through my bones. My eyes lit up as I gasped a bit from how cold I noticed it was. I stood up out of my bed and touched the floor and I thought I was stepping on the snow. The sheer cold pierced my feet and I felt my body trembling from the icy shards of carpet biting my feet. I walked to my closet and grabbed my blue and white jumper. Size "small", a small number eighty-six to my left shoulder, and 7 clasps down the center. I walked to the drawers of my dresser, grabbed a pair of socks and put on my grey sweatpants, put on my grey and black striped beanie, and slipped on my shoes. I crossed my arms to cradle my crying arms with the sharp shaven hairs standing up broadly like a pledge. I could see the breath exiting my mouth with flashbacks of me as a lad blowing out smoke and pretending I was some sort of ritual Japanese dragon. I only found an aura of light around my body and by the objects around me. Everything was black and white everywhere that I looked. The walls were black and the floors as well, but I could guide myself to walk through the little flares of lights. There was no color whatsoever. I looked in the mirror that was mounted on my dresser that I normally primp myself with my make-up and flat iron to see something that made me heart stop and a heat wave run through my body. In front of my face was this monster... staring back at me with a menacing glare. It grinned at me with teeth like Albion swords and eyes like the dark abysses of the ocean. Its body was color-filled like a normal human with a drained complexion and dark, shaded crevices. Its long black hair, matted and tangled, hanging below the shoulders. I stood at a stupefying image as I skim the arms of this evil thing in my mirror. I looked at the top of the shoulders and my eyes followed a trail of bladed cuts down the arm as they continued to get darker and darker progressing down the arms. The darkest was on the wrists and they screamed at me. I looked back to its eyes, still peering back, and back to the arms watching as the scars suddenly split open and spilled blood. I looked at the thing and yelled at it, "What are you doing?! Stop it!", but he just stopped and stared back at me with the same grinned look. Its eyes... they began tearing up... but not with tears of a normal human, but the blood of its own. The blood poured down its body as I turned my head. I couldn't look at it any longer. I opened my door and walked down my hallways. All the picture frames were empty with white sheets taking the place of the family portraits that were once present. I walked out into the kitchen, then out of my back door. I stepped out of my door to see a black sky with no stars or moon... just a black painted canvas. The ground was blackened just the same as the sky. It looked like the porch was floating atop the air. I looked around me and there were no people... no houses... no life. There were no trees around me like there normally were. It’s like I woke up in space; like I’ve kissed a dark aura. I walked onto my porch, looked up and screamed out, but I then noticed that I was making no noise. I was completely dumb. I didn’t know what I was to do now because I felt like I was alone again. That monster in the mirror… what was it? How could this evil exist? But I guess that I was experiencing the life that was beyond this planet, because positively, there is nothing like this on earth whatsoever. I could tell I was not on earth, but where was I?
