Paradise Burning
“Insistent light sent strange patterns flittering across the gritty surface beneath her eyelids. Something was wrong. She had always hated to get up in the morning, but this . . . this was different. Unsettling. Oddly menacing.
A dull ache pulsed from the base of her skull to the top of her head in a rhythm that seemed to move in time with the aurora borealis playing against her lids. She was thinking the right commands: open eyes, wiggle fingers, move toes. But nothing, absolutely nothing, was ...happening. Except fear was poking its way into her unease.
And cold. Bone-chilling cold. She might not be able to move, but she could feel. The numbing cold of an inverse hell. Raging thirst. Scratchy skin. Odd uncomfortable lumps beneath her crumpled body.
Dear God. Not nausea too.
Mandy gritted her teeth, willed her stomach to be quiet. To her vague surprise, both teeth and stomach obeyed her better than her eyelids. As the wave of nausea subsided, she made another stab at opening her eyes. No luck.MoreLess
