Chapter 1
I hadn't felt so much pain in my life. Not even the time I got jumped when I was 13 and the same kids who had muzzled me jumped me. It hurts to even move. I couldn't stop thinking about Judy, even though it made my head hurt. You know when you have a near-death experience, people say time slows down? Well, now I can tell you from personal experience that time does slow down. I saw the tree hit Judy in the face. I wasn't even hit by the tree, and I was in as much pain as a person who had just got crushed by a house. I was in so much pain that I had to close my eyes to make it at least a little bit bearable. I drifted off to sleep.
