A fuzzy black haze filled my mind, like a silent static. It was as though I was in a room, a huge, empty room, filled with nothing but darkness. Was this a dream? I was still lucid, wake up, I told myself. Wake up. I heard faint echoes, echoes of voices, maybe two of them. Casual conversation, maybe a bit of anger, I could only make out snippets.
"Do you have any idea how much pressure you've put onto us?"
"You should be thanking me; rather than coming out of your bank account, this one is free."
I can't open my eyes, why can't I open my eyes? I feel numb, but start to regain some feeling in my fingertips. It spreads through my fingers and to my hands, I twitch slightly. Is this real?
"The police are already investigating the last termite that wandered onto my property, you should have let her go. She's my burden now, not yours."
