Sofia
Sofia stood for a moment, dazed. She shook her head. What just happened?
The black thing was gone. To where, she didn't know, nor was she sure she wanted to. Now, her mind was occupied by how she felt.
Different....but.....normal. As if she had been abnormal her whole life and now something slid into place and set things right. She liked it. But now the question was, what was it?
With her mind filled with all the possibilities of what had happened, she began walking through the forest, once again not paying attention to nor caring where she was going. Darkness had begun to fall and the moon was starting to rise, casting shadows through the trees.
Out of habit and without the slightest distraction from her thoughts, her hand rose toward the moon and closed gently. She pulled down slowly, a beam of moonlight following her hand. She set the ray on the ground before her and it remained in front as she continued her thought filled and aimless trek.

Sofia awoke with early morning sunlight shining down. She had no idea how long she'd been alseep nor any memory of lying down. But here she was, awaking with the dawn. A night's sleep and now another day and the strange new feeling was still there.
I have to figure out what this is, she decided and wondered if anyone else had experienced this.
