I'm not dead.

I'm not dead and I have more questions for Flint.

Where is that mother fucker?!

I at some point figured out that I really was suspended in the air above some busy street, that got a bit quieter, when the burning sensations moved from unexplainable places all over to more recognisable ones.

My muscles were aching and I felt the sun and its rays in a way different than ever before. More direct and impactful but not as hot. My skin wasn't filtering anything and the giant fireball felt like it was watching me without blinking.

When the rays of the sun lessened I could also feel the more subtle pressure of different light sources, Mostly from below but several were on my left and right, some even moving around and below me. Thinking about it I realized that they were around me the entire time I was suspended there and there are more of them now.

My body, now almost completely burn free, was lowered and I was starting to freak out again. Who, what? Whenwherewhy?

My stomach was prickling strangely, it didn't hurt but a sense of urgency accompanied it, telling me to get to a specific direction but bro.. I can't move!

I was so focused on the senses I couldn't control or understand that I forgot to listen the entire way down. There were people waiting there for me. Talking about me. I was able to sense them similarly to the way I did with the light sources but it was like looking at blurred images in a dimly lit room. They were blurrier than everything else around.

Omg! I could 'see' my blurry surroundings without using my eyes.

Those people were close. One of them hesitantly reached out to touch me. The prickly sensation on my stomach slithering along my skin faster in anticipation.

"Oh god.. I-" he said, his voice shaking and high " sh- she's breathing."

His fingers made contact with my right cheek and the prickling and stinging was replaced with a comforting, slightly cold touch.

Did I just black out?

My dream about ai generated kpop carrots was replaced with the feeling of a pillow on and the light humming of electronics surrounding me. Smells like a minty hospital. With my eyes closed I could still tell that the window on my left was half open, the sun was setting and one of the light bulbs above me was close to dying.

I am not going to get excited for nothing, this might be a physical trauma thing..

I have powers!

Maybe..

Fliiiiiiiiiiiiiint! You have some 'splainin to do!

I forced my eyes open, noting that the morning sun didn't feel blinding even after the time I spent In complete darkness followed by the inability to open my eyes at all.
