Before You Slip Into Unconsciousness Novels & Stories

I tried to turn, to grab whoever was behind me, but my body wouldn’t listen. The world tilted. My vision blurred. My knees hit the floor with a dull thud. The grip tightened once more, and then—nothing. The lights went out. As consciousness slipped away, I caught a flicker of movement—shadows shifting, a silhouette I almost recognized. The last thought that crossed my mind before the dark swallowed me whole was that this wasn’t supposed to happen. Someone had beaten me to her.

I cannot end like this… I cannot. I am plunged into a coliseum of black colours. Darkness swirls around me, thick and suffocating. I totally lose all sense of myself… completely. The last thing I vividly remember before I black out is being lifted up gently and carried up some stairs. The feel of strong arms beneath me anchors me as consciousness slips away. For the first time since the attack, I feel a tiny bit of safety… oh, just a tiny hint of it.

My last attempt for help was done but I was sure no one is going to find me. I m hardly breathing and I m out of breath. I m suffocated but I can’t help myself. Everything around me is blurry and I m seeing hallucinations around me before my last breath. Someone coming for help, swimming towards me. It was not so clear but he was someone familiar and then before I remember him, my mind and eyes went unconscious. Goodbye, Everyone.

This wasn't about seeking closure or reliving trauma; this was pure strategy, calculated and cold. Minutes ticked by slowly, the grandfather clock in the corner marking each one with a solemn chime. Gradually, his eyelids began to droop heavily, his grip on the delicate cup loosening until it slipped slightly in his hand. "What... what is this?" he slurred suddenly, confusion and dawning realization mixing in his voice as his head lolled back against the chair. "You... you .... bastard how dare-..." His eyes fluttered shut, and he slumped fully into the high-backed seat, unconscious at last, his breathing steady but shallow, his body limp.

My knees buckled, and I slid slowly down to the cold floor, my vision swimming, turning black at the edges. The two men stepped closer, daggers raised high, their eyes fixed on the unconscious man in the bed. I lay helpless on the floor, my eyes rolling back, my strength completely drained. The last thing I saw before darkness swallowed me whole was the sharp blade descending… and the terrifying realization that we had walked right into a trap far deadlier than we ever imagined.

the voice announced. A slight pinch, and then... Everything went dark. My eyelids grew heavy, shutting out the world. I felt myself drifting, weightless, into a realm beyond consciousness. The last thought I remembered was: What will my Neuroxine level be? And then, nothing.

Down a sharp waterfall hidden in the folds of darkness. The air rushed past me in a blur, a brief moment of weightlessness before I crashed into the plunge pool below. My body struck the surface like glass shattering — water swallowing me whole once more — but this time, something cracked. My skull slammed against a submerged rock. Pain. Blinding. Sudden. And then — nothing. No sound. No light. No breath. I sank slowly, my limbs limp, my eyes fluttering shut. But in that final moment before consciousness slipped completely from my grasp, one thought passed through my mind — soft and strange, like a whispered lullaby.

My skin prickled, and a wave of energy caused my hair to stand on end as if responding to the imminent transformation. Suddenly, a shocking blow of the shock baton contacted my shoulder, jolting my senses. The impact reverberated through my body, causing me to gasp in surprise. Engulfed by the intensity of the moment, I closed my eyes, seeking solace in the darkness. With each passing second, my consciousness slipped away, and I succumbed to the unconsciousness that beckoned me, granting me respite from the tumultuous events unfolding around me.

By the time she noticed something was wrong, she had already inhaled it and her senses dulled in an instant. She could not run or think, eventually went blank and she fell unconscious on the ground.

"Okay, Toby and Mirele, just relax. I know this is scary, but you'll be fine." I realized that I was hyperventilating, and I took a deep, calming breath as Grandfather's voice soothed my nerves. Only a little, but it pulled me back from the brink of a full panic attack. The liquid had reached the back of my neck... I would soon be entirely submerged. I closed my eyes and laid my head back, trying to convince my muscles to quite contemplating the chances of a successful escape. "Now remember, we talked about all of this. Just relax... the wiring will scan and adjust to your brain patterns. Once it does, we will induce unconsciousness with a single electrical pulse."
