"Our field of dreams,

engulfed in fire

Your arson's match,

your somber eyes

And I'll still see it until I die

You're the loss of my life."

𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚

I am hit with a burst of fire.

I wake up.

Gasping, and everything crashes over me in an instant.

Everything comes, reappears.

I am very much alive, but oh, how I wish I weren't.

There's pain, but it's everywhere and nowhere. I can't locate it, can't fight it—only drown in it. My chest is collapsing; my head is buzzing like a siren. Something is sharp and cracking under my skin, but I can't tell where or how. And then it just... breaks.

The pain is ripping through me like I'm being torn apart from the inside. I don't know where I am; everything around me is glaring, sterile, too cold. But the agony—the deep, bruising ache that pulses through my body—is the only thing I recognize.

I feel pain, but I don't know where.

Everything is blurred, my surroundings, the voices, my mind, my whole system.

The world blurs in and out of focus. My head spins as I struggle to sit up, but the pain is like iron pressing down on my chest. My heart pounds, erratic and loud, and I claw at the sheets as if they're suffocating me. I don't even know where I am, but everything feels wrong.

There's something clawing at the edge of my mind, fragments of memory that slip through my fingers every time I try to grasp them. Every time I try to understand why is this happening to me.

Warner.

A gun.

Blood.

Guilt.

Regret.

Pain.

Too much pain.

A high, keening scream rips out of me before I even realize it, raw and sharp. I sound like an animal, wild and cornered, and the sound only fuels the terror roiling through me.
