Black. Speckles of silvery light. Swirls of milky white and green; explosions of light. Faces flashed in my consciousness too quickly for me to recognize. Suddenly, the only thing in my head was black. All the colors swirled in the darkness.
Colors…? What we they? A sudden pain entered into my awareness. At first, it was a dull ache in the back of my head. Soon, my whole body was on fire. My lungs shuddered and it grew hard to breathe. The pain was intolerable. I gladly welcomed unconsciousness.
The last thing I heard was a loud anguished scream.
