I forced my legs to take my weight as I locked my knees upright, leaning on Chris.
My body felt empty and a little blood rolled down my forehead and into my brow.
I wiped it away as I tried to grasp the situation again, but the pain was too much.
We stood together in the inky woods, but we could have been anywhere.
I couldn't see Chris as he huddled next to me.
It felt like someone had wrapped my head in a blanket.
Neither of us said a word as we waited, but our breathing was loud and I wondered from what distance it could be heard.
Reality began to return to me and the pain was now just about bearable.
I straightened up, grasping at what was happening.
The pins of fear sank into me a second time and I started counting in my head.
One minute passed without any sound in the world.
The wind was dead and the birds might be too.
