Prologue ~ Before It Starts
Bang
That's all I heard, before all sounds faded.
Pain
That's all I feel, before I could feel nothing.
A face
The horrified expression and mouth open in no doubt a scream I could not hear. That was all I saw before the world went dark.
A moment
That's how long it all lasted, even if it felt like so much longer.
Flowers, and the sun
That's all I saw, when I woke up.
Crash
That's all I heard, before it was much too silent.
Pain
That's all I felt before all feeling faded.
A car
That's all I saw before darkness took over.
A minute
Was all the time it consumed.
The sky
Was all I saw when it was over.
