Before You Slip Into Unconsciousness Novels & Stories

Her head dipped forward slightly, then jerked back as she tried to fight it, but the dizziness came stronger now. Her limbs felt heavy, unresponsive, like they no longer belonged to her. The ringing in her ears intensified. Her eyelids fluttered. Then slowly, her head fell forward. Her body gave in. She slipped into unconsciousness.
