Prologue

He could feel his world shaking, trembling and fading away.

It was the faithful adrenaline in his blood which pulled him through when he staggered hastily out of the dark alley with a stream of red stickiness dripping down the back of his shirt. Struggling to stay at the edge of his consciousness, he knew that the adrenaline would not be able to do its job any longer as he tried to get a hold on the brick walls and his fingers scraped weakly over the rough surface of the wall which felt so much like the rock before losing his grip.

The rock. He could see its outline and pale grey before it was stained with his blood. Caught with a sudden fear, he could barely glance behind himself to see that the rock and its owner did not follow. He dare not reached for the back of his head; it should have been shattered like that cracked rock he saw in that split second.

Swaying and breathing in ragged snatches of air, he finally reached a street corner, an open space which offered more safety than the alley. He could hardly keep his eyes open now, he felt so tired, so tired and weak, so tired and weak. Yes, there were some noises, footsteps maybe and coming his way? Yet he felt like they came from a glass bowl; or was he the one in the bowl?

His legs gave way with an abrupt collapse. Trembling hard as he desperately tried to lift himself on his bloodied and shaking arms, he threw his head up for one last effort and caught the street name and a face before his eyes saw black and nothing else.

It was Cardinal Street and a girl, he thought to himself before he slipped into a dull and dreamless state.

It was Cardinal Street and a girl.
