He blinks. When he opens them, things have not changed. Everything is slow. A deep voice, shouting something he should be able to understand draws his face to the right. He blinks again, wavering. His head drops to his chest. His hands are covering the hole that his abdomen has become. Blink.

The fall to the ground takes an instant, but lasts forever. His knees buckle and he collapses on his side, head and neck lolling to look up. The leaves are wet.

It had been raining. No. It was raining. Little drops of water sprinkle his face. Blink. That face, blurring in and out of focus is the one raining on him.

The leaves are wet. His hands no longer have the strength to remain on his stomach. They drift off to the side, almost floating. Pressing his hands into the mast of the forest he blinks again. Why are the leaves wet?
