Copper Veins (2016)
“I couldn’t remember entering any water, not a stream or a bath or anything, but I was there nonetheless. My chest was about to burst and my limbs were heavy with exertion, but I couldn’t stop. I was certain that if I stopped, I would die.
I opened my eyes and took a great gasping breath. As my vision cleared I learned that I wasn’t drowning, but I was lying in a bed that wasn’t mine. Blearily, I recognized the white and yellow bed curtains as the ones in the guest room behind the kitchen. But w...hy was I here, why wasn’t I— In a rush I remembered the extract burning its way down my throat—the horrible, cramping pains that had taken hold of me—how I’d struggled toward the kitchens, hopeful I would find something, anything, that would help. I remembered calling for Shep, then falling to the cold metal floor.
The silverkin must have brought me here. I shifted and was rewarded with stabbing pains in my belly, behind my eyes, and in my back. I remembered landing on my shoulder—it must have been bruised in the fall.MoreLess
