Chapter 1
I pry my eyes open, bright light causes me to shut my eyes again. I thought that such things only happened in movies or if someone tried to put a torch right in your face in the middle of the night. I blink a couple of times to clear my vision and take in my surroundings.
It was bright, too bright, something felt very wrong about this place and that's when I notice the burning sensation on my cheek, still glued to the ground. I slowly lift my throbbing head and brush off the grainy texture off my face. I immediately look at my hand and see that its covered with sand. A wave of realization hits me and I look around me. I blink multiple times again, not exactly believing what I was seeing. But nothing seemed to change it. No matter what I did I still found myself in the desert, all alone.
My head spins and I suddenly feel nauseous, maybe I was home sick but thinking about my home neither made me happy nor melancholy all I felt was this sense of confusion and emptiness. I knew I should've felt something, should've got some return of feeling from my heart but all I got was a cold deep feeling of nothing.
I can't remember where I lived not to mention who I lived with. I try to keep thinking about it but that is till my head ache returns. I let out a small yelp and fall so that my left ear is on the ground. When the pain subsides I slowly begin to get into a sitting position. Suddenly the sharp pain in my head is back again, my vision blurs and I almost loose my balance but then the pain subsides almost as quickly as it came. what is happening to me? Maybe the heat was doing this to me, and the feeling of something bad happening to me was inevitable.
Word like ' starvation, thirst, disease and death' ran through my mind making me feel queasy. I once again return to my trials of getting up. I swat my hand into air for some kind of support but then realize how stupid I must have looked and so I stop. I try to push myself up with the help of the ground and it does help to an extent but i fall back again. I look down at my legs and I'm stunned that I didn't die of a heart attack. It might seem like too much of an exaggeration but if anyone was in the same position as me, they'd probably say the same. My legs were in some seriously damaged and strange positions, I bet no one has seen unless you are a gymnast or a really flexible person. I may not remember a thing but I'm pretty sure i am not the tiniest bit close to flexibility.
Standing up felt like some kind of puzzle or a mission to complete the complicated literally twisted my brain.
I try many ways to stand and some weren't good looking at all.
In one try, i ended up with my butt sticking out upwards and my face stuck in the sand so i pretty much looked like i was hiding or maybe puking and another time i ended in one of the strange twisted positions involving my arms too. Who knew standing up would be such a difficult task. But somehow i did it. I finally stood up, heaven knows how, but I did.
I felt like I was standing for the first time in my life and though the sense of victory was overwhelming I however still felt a great surge to lie down whether the ground was hot as lava or not. I had a few thoughts in my mind 1) I sleep on this piece of land from the sun and wait for someone to come 2) get up and try finding help 3) no one will find me and I will die.
I push the third thought out of my mind. Picking the second option I begin to walk into a random direction as every single way looked the same.
I may not be as brave as a hero or whatever but I surely am not going to die for a stupid reason, not when I can change that by going away from here.
'Dead due to isolation' that's what would come out in the magazine owned by my uncle when someone found me, if someone found me. Wait uncle? how do i remember him? Maybe I'm finally remembering things.
But the chances of anyone finding me ever is really close to zero. No one lives here and I don't think anyone will.
I cry out in agony and clutch my head as the headache return but this time its more intense and painful. I refrain myself from banging my head on the ground. suddenly my body goes stiff and i can't move. Before my brain can register as to what is going on, everything gets consumed into darkness...
'My eyes flutter open... I stand before a door of a house. I reach into my pocket and draw out a key. As I unlock the door I hear footsteps but then it stops. Shrugging the spooked out feeling building in my chest , I get into the house. I move into the kitchen and fill a glass with some juice. The creepy feeling returns and i whirl around but i see nothing, out of the corner of my eye I notice movement at the window, a shadow. I could have even mistaken it for a tree if i hadn't looked too carefully but it was too humanly shaped to be mistaken.............'
