Chapter 1 Where am I?

The image of the pale blue eyes had changed to a more deeper shade as if some artist had made another thicker brush stroke around the rims to add depth to the painting, I saw the face of the shadow now & not just its eyes her face came into view almost as soon as the shadow had gripped me, There was movement around me but I didn't see any of it only her face held my eyes locked in her gaze. I was still frozen by them as she turned her head to look at me fully no longer contempt with catching me with the corner of her eye. Her face was nicely angled with a firm jaw that came to a point with high and wide cheekbones giving her face and oddly beautiful frame for the features to sit on, The lips were thin with a light purplish lip gloss that made them look fuller than they should be, A metal Libra sat just under them riding the bottom of the lip just a little high or maybe just angled to look that way, The hair that framed her face was shoulder length & colored a midnight blue color that made her eyes look brighter somehow with a dull look in the red evening sun. I could see myself dating someone that looked exactly like this someday. The light reflecting off the glass of the buildings around this woman, shone around her like glitter in a magical moment. This would frame the image permanently in my mind for many years to come; I couldn't focus my mind on anything beyond her eyes after that like there was more there than I was seeing.

I had her full attention now her lips moved to say something soft but I couldn't read her lips I just didn't know how. Nor could I hear anything it was like I had gone deaf. My eyes blurred & then I was suddenly aware of my legs feeling like rubber. Gravity took hold of my body then letting me know how heavy I was. I must have looked like someone having a seizure. My body felt like I had ran a marathon and had forgotten to eat before running the 20 - 50 miles. My head was like a lead weight rolling to one side and lay on the shoulder. Try as I might to focus my eyes on the figures moving toward me which I hoped was the lovely image that I had been staring at. Suddenly my body gave way to exhaustion that I had never felt before in my life. Muscles twitching unable to respond to the commands to stay standing, what was wrong with me I wondered? The redness of the sky filled my eyes while I fought to focus on something far away like clouds & found myself thinking I had suddenly been flying upside down for the longest time before the ground caught me. The pain was sharp jarring in my head. My eyes found Darkness creeping in from the edges of my vision. I could hear again and heard the clatter of boots & high heels a woman’s voice that was full of anger.

“No you took too much Again,” she had said in a snapping voice.

Whoever she was had a very commanding and overbearing feel to them. The ground under me seems to swim swirling in big long circles my gut lurch uneasily & I found myself wondering if this is what it felt like to die. Was the shadow in truth death itself? My being clairvoyant and not seeing my own death coming would be very ironic in the cosmic sense. The warm side walk seemed very cold in comparison to the invisible shadow that had held me just a moment ago, just as I felt the darkness closing in around my eyes not inviting at all I might add. I heard another woman ask with an almost soft childish voice.

"Did I kill him? Is he going to die?" Came the very concerned and worried voice.

The other woman spoke softer more gentler this time with less anger while I felt a very hot hand touch my neck feeling for a pulse.

"Well he’s still alive..." silence for a moment then she spoke again.

"Pulse is slow he may die from shock so we best be out of here before anyone finds him.”  That was not what I did want to hear while I was slipping into unconsciousness, a sharp gasp of air from the other woman.
