Devouring Abyss

I awoke in a large near pitchblack room, where colossal chairs lined up against what appears an unending pearlescent marble table,  shimmering against a distant candlelight from out of view. Looking to the left, away from the light, I find no end to the table, the effervescent shimmer of candlelight cascading deep into the darkness beyond. Looking towards the light, I find it obscured by the front chair, standing as an obelisk absorbing whatever warmth comes wayward, even if differed by thinly veiled curtains. Climbing out of the seat and falling to the floor, I venture forth through those curtains.
Immediately awaiting me is the peerless veil of an abyss, cold, and dank. For as the harrowing wind from beyond envelops me in the display, it's nothing short of wretched, echoing sights and smells only the vilest way to die could bring. As taking merely one step further would send me plummeting over the edge of this, pearlescent marble platform, the very same marble that adorned the dining hall. 
The biting cold, it gnaws at my moist hands, hands that even when held so close to the candlelight that they may surely burn, can only be made out in outline alone. Then, a droplet falls into my palm, the stench it brings suffocates me in is warm, salty. Looking up, another falls onto me, nearly blotting out my eye it fell so near, yet that is not what catches my eye.
Glistening marble as far as the eye can see from all around, up, down, left to right, miles and miles of the very same effervescent marble gleams from the candlelight, illuminating tiny red droplets streaming from above and into the veil. Whilst some landed right onto the platform, revealing a rather large puddle of faint red, trailing off the edge. The sight and smell, it's all unmistakable now.
Then, a flash in the distance. And for a moment, I am locked with eye to misshapen visage, a fleshen beast so tall, so vast, that where it begins and ends is as fundamentally disturbing as the fact it bears a single shred of humanity large enough to be able to look me in the eye. And in the next flash, find that it is able to make it's approach.
It's only now that I realize the air itself has been trying to devour me.
