For Mentality's Sake
Comatose
The final month. The final day. The last chance their friend had at ever seeing their faces again.
If they didn't destroy it now, Death would come to visit, swift and exacting.
She was writhing on the bed; eyes screwed shut,her breaths shallow and wheezy, sweat collecting on her forehead and upper lip. Just watching her in obvious pain made anyone present in the room feel it as well. Here face was a disturbing portrait of torture and pain, tears pressing at the corners of her eyes. Everyone could see that she was fighting a quickly deteriorating battle, and that the strength she exerted in this malignant mutated coma was rapidly destroying her mental and physical state. This time was far worse than the times before, though. When she first began to scream and they saw that her eyes were now open but unseeing, glazed and white, they all knew that their last chance was now upon them.
At the stroke of midnight, everything came to a still. The room was tense, everyone but the oblivious girl convulsing on the bed were still as statues. Eyes were all on her, some eventually closing their eyes, unable to watch her continue to suffer without an end or pause. One of them was staring intently at the girl, his face expressing no open emotion as his crimson eyes bore into her.
Suddenly his face slackened; his body completely loose as his eyes fluttered at half-mast. As he began to fall back in his absent state, two of his comrades, already prepared for this, caught him up and carried him to a second bed positioned adjacent to the first.
Now the group had two friends to care for while they fought a battle against the mind, memories, and time.
I know it's short -- it's more like a prologue than a chapter, but it's necessary.
Just as a forewarning; things aren't as they seem and the chapters aren't in the order you would think they should be, so you have to keep a close eye on things and there will be a lot left for you to think about. R&R!
