Reanimating

It Began

The pain was overwhelming.
I could no longer remember what was happening or how I came to be in this position.
Nothing made sense to me.
My body was fighting to stay alive, fighting to stop the pain, while the pain was all consuming.
I had no idea how long I'd been lying here but it felt like centuries and every now and then I'd black out. Was I slipping away? Dying? No, it would hit me again like a steam train and I'd feel my whole body shake, twisting and turning but frozen solid.
Nothing was real, only pain.
Sudden Voices.
Screaming.
