Short Story Paranormal – Woman-shadow-sky

My eyes were itching with the sweat that had found its way in. I was gasping for breath. I knew I was shivering. My heart was pumping blood more than my chest could hold. It was like my soul is chained and in no control of my body.
I was standing alone. In the middle of Nowhere. The barren land expanded into nothingness.
No one. Nothing. Just a dark sky looming over my panicked self. The moon had ditched me . The stars failed to show up. I wanted to run and keep running till I see something. Anything. A leaf, a stone, a tree, a soul.
The eerie emptiness was eating me alive.
“How is this even possible? How can I stand on plain land with not a smallest thing on it in sight? How can the sky be plain empty?”
These questions were just as haunting to me as more importantly were “Where am I and how did I get here?”
I ran. I kept running.
I knew I was breathing hard because I could feel my chest burning as if on fire. But couldn’t hear my breathing.
I knew I was running fast and pushing the earth away hard with each step because soon my leg muscles started giving up with pain shooting up. But I couldn’t hear my steps.
I stopped in horror! And opened my mouth as wide as I could. I filled in my chest with air neither cold nor warm. My eyes as big as they could be staring into emptiness. I lift up my dying spirit and energy to complain about this unnatural happening and let this all out in one loudest echoing scream..
except nothing. I heard nothing. My screams, my shouts, my whining, my crying died under the excruciatingly loud Screaming of Silence.
