20. LET IT RAIN

LETHU

I drifted in and out of consciousness. I could have been dreaming the whole thing; my body pulled down, boots hitting the ground with such emergence and car tires screeching. I knew I had been dreaming it all. I knew nothing but pain waited for me when I finally woke up. I dreaded it with every cell in my body. My body itself seemed to be in the roaring fires of hell with how hard it ached and burned.

I felt my tears slip even in my unconscious state. I felt the painful purr pull from me with each jerk of my body. I felt hands on me, and I wanted to fight but I was stuck in the state I was in. I felt the hands grip and pull me which had me wince so hard. I was pushed up, arms carrying me.

It was cold and I was fading slowly but surely yet the tension could be felt. My eyes fluttered and closed, darkness all around with the silence dreadful. Was this it? Were they there to bury me alive? Was more torture coming my way?

Whoever was carrying me was walking and soon they stood.
