*Christine
I felt a stabbing pain spreading along my body. My whole body was burning and tingling.
"What happened?" I tried hard to remember.
My mind was completely blank.
I tried unsuccessfully to move. I tried to open my eyelids, but they seemed too heavy.
I felt weak and sore.
Somewhere in the distance I heard a soothing male voice. He whispered something gently towards me. However, I was unable to catch his words. The voice sounded familiar. But I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before.
I felt like I was in someone's arms. We were moving.
I immediately felt panic rising. I was completely defenseless. I was completely at the mercy of the person who held me.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I had a strange sense of security. I felt that I didn't have to fear for my life. That I am well cared for.
I could only hope it was true.
With that thought, I lost consciousness again.
