Lies And Prophecy
“My name. I was surprised I recognized it at all. If only my skull would split in half; maybe it wouldn’t hurt so much then.
“Kimberly, can you hear me?”
Opening my eyes was a mistake. Light stabbed through to the back of my head and made me wish for the lesser pain of a moment ago. I tried a second time, more judiciously, and at last managed to see.
For a moment I thought I was staring into a mirror. But the cornflower-blue eyes receded, and it was only my mother.
Wait—my mother...?
The sudden thought drove me to try and sit up, which was as big of a mistake as opening my eyes had been. My mother hastily pressed me down, making the idiot noises of reassurance people use with sick patients. Sick … I must be in a hospital. That would explain the antiseptic tang in the back of my throat.
What was I doing in a hospital?
