Flash!....Fading....Darkness....Flash!...Fading....Darkness. 

 That was all she could see.

Silence...Emptiness...Hollowness

That was all she could hear.

Nothing

That was all she could feel.

Later

Wake up. Open eyes. Dizzy...Dizzy. Where am I? Pain...Throbbing pain. 

Stand up. Stumble. Lean on counter. Counter... Look around.

House. Kitchen.

Empty. Fading...Snap back. Clear vision. Step forward.

Glass.

Broken. Crunch. Forward. Right. Left. Pause. Silence.

Can't think. Don't know what to think.

Eyes drop. Eyes open. Can't fade. Focus. Right. Left. Right. Left. Faster. 

Doorway.

Hold wall. Grip tightly. Might fall...might fall. Breathe heavy.

Energy. 

Quickly faded. Look left. Too dark. Look right. Blood on floor. Glass. Hold breath.

Bodies.

Two men. Who are they? Throat tighten. Sick. Very sick. Dead. Dead men.

Why. What happened. Many questions. 

Knock.

Turn to left. Fear. Panic. Heart stopped. What is it? 

Voices.

People. Who? Many. Coming from darkness. Safety? 

Lights.

Blinding. Look down. Drip. Drip. Red. Hands. Look. Covered. Dripping. Not yours.

Men.

Dead. Killed. You. 

Fading. Fading.

Sway. Scared. Fall forward. Ground. No pain. Look to lights.

Shining.

On you. People. Help. Good. I hope. Rushing to you. Eyes closing. Slowly.

Dark. Shouts. Sound. Fading. Conscious. Losing. Silence. Lost.
