My head is banging, vision swimming as I struggle to my feet. Before I can stop it, I jerk forward and vomit.Sick hits the floor with a splat, staining my ankles and pooling around my feet. I’m panting for breath, trying not to gag as the last of the vomit drips into my hair. A whimpering sound comes from the left of me and I turn. Something is moving on the floor, buried underneath a stack of rusty chains, like a dog. I squint at the odd creature until it turns towards me, and I gasp in shock. It’s a child. A little girl.
