Hello there, why can't I have more views, more comments, more views, more rank? I update every 6 days and guess what? I am still #72 :O

I could tell the morning was cheery, bright and languid. Well, the latter was me. Yet, the light never kissed me nor did I embrace it. Waking up felt like lifting a mountain. Impossible! I yawned loudly alerting someone next to me, because their feet shuffled too loudly in my migraine clad brain, making it feel as if an elephant marathon was in my head.     

"Are you alright?" the voice felt heavy, roundish, too loud and electronic in my head. Well, a weird combination. However, I wanted to slap that person with all my might. That person was too damn loud. Who is he?

A park was where I was lying. I got up from the plush greenery and strolled through the beauty feeling loved. A woman clad in a white flowy dress approached me with an amulet saying, "You are freed."

Whatever that means!

Suddenly, a bright incandescent light blinded my vision as I woke up from a dream-like state in pain. Searing hot pain rippled through my shoulder, neck, and head making me suffocate in my own scream.

A feeling of calmness rolled in me as if someone was calling me lovingly. Though I was looking everywhere, the blinding light never lets me see who or where the person was. I could only hear the loud, distant call. I think I am trapped in the light. I have heard about the light after death. Am I dead?

I woke up with a start from the bed. All around me was that stupid blinding light. Two men and a woman were standing next to me, looking at me... pinched. They were debating whether I getting up was a good sign or a bad sign.

"Lily..." the young boy called me out, carefully as if testing the hotness of the water. Who am I? Where am I? The woman looked at me incredulously. Suddenly she muttered something and splashed ice water on my face. I gasped, feeling the cold biting my skin in painful pleasure. For a moment, I was blanked out but then got up to find Linda smiling at me sheepishly.

"You were lost for a moment. It happens to someone who had to go through insurmountable pain. The cold shock brought you back."

I huffed as I blew out driblets of water from my upper lip making Stephen and Tom sigh happily.

"Ah, it feels good," I said.

"You had me worried out there, young woman." Linda caressed my chin ever so slightly.

"Well, you did a nasty job cutting open my skin like that."

"Yea, yea... blame this old girl." Linda said walking away with Tom, commanding her assurance in my safe recovery.

"She did a mistake. Your anesthesia overdosed and you had been sleeping for three days straight. You got us worried here."

"Three days, oh my..." I had this effect on sleeping for days at length. When the sudden news dawned on me, I realized I was terribly hungry and thirsty. Linda was back with food and water, knowing well this might be my reaction. Tom and Linda left, after feeding us saying they will be back. So long, we had to hang low in this secluded location.

"I have my men here. But you are not to leave until I flag you. Have a nice rest. You had us worried." Tom said before leaving.

"Ok," I replied wiping my lips with the back of my hands.

"So..." Stephen started in his usual fidgety stance; instantly notifying me, he had something to tell and it was nasty.

"Alright, go on..." I said, looking straight at him.
