Just one note to make:

Innay was still laughing to herself when she heard someone yell into the bus. It sounded like it was coming from above her, where the driver was. The trouble was, she couldn't quite understand what the person was saying. It sounded like another language. Like in her old office, where they used a secret language to communicate when the
(tyrannical slave driver)
boss was around. They'd add the letter 'f' to the beginning of every syllable in the word and say that 'new' syllable after the original one. So a message like 'The Boss is coming' would end up sounding like: 'The-fe Boss-foss is-fis com-fum-ming-fing'. Innay thought about this and wondered if she should reply the
(disembodied)
voice. She considered yelling out 'Hel-fel-p-f me-fee'. Which only got her laughing more. The laughers were having a goody Sunday today. The laughers. Innay laughed harder. The only conscious and sane thought that ran through her was: "The argument against insanity falls through with a soft shirring sound." But her argument against insanity fell through with laughter bordering on the psych ward. Hahaha… She could feel her consciousness start to slip, not to say her sanity.
(shirr shirr shirr)
Then the voice was beside her. She was still laughing when she felt a presence there. Controlling her mirth, she opened her eyes only to stare into another set of piercing amethyst eyes. She read recognition
(of what?)
in them. Then she was lost as the eyes opened their mouth to speak. Wait, no no… The person opened their mouth to speak. It all came out in a kind of rush. Innay wasn't sure what she was hearing, but, was that, Japanese? Was this beautiful pair of eyes talking to her in Japanese?
"Oh smuck, my saviour is a Japanese tourist."
Innay would have laughed at that if 'Eyes', she couldn't think of her saviour as anything else, hadn't probed at her right arm. Wincing, she feebly raised her left arm to push 'Eyes' away, but 'Eyes' had moved further down to her legs. Oh me oh my, something hurt
(like a rusty barbed wire had been taken to scraping it)
down there too. Guess she wouldn't be walking out of this wreck on her own today. Squinting through the pain, she sensed, more than she saw, 'Eyes' shift her position to kneel next to her and seemed somehow, bent over her.
"Is she going to try and hear my heartbeat? I can hear it clearly. It's saying: 'Feel the pain and burn bitch.'"
Then, she felt 'Eyes' put her arms under her.
"Ah, she's gonna carry me. Bridal style. I-smucking-do." Innay didn't realize she said that last one out loud till 'Eyes' looked down at her weirdly.
"Ahsoomockindoe?"
Innay laughed at that and shook her head. "No, it's 'Eye-s-ma-king-doo'.", her lips forming an 'o' as she carefully enunciated the words. 'Eyes' continued to stare at her. Innay smiled inanely back. The smile formed a grimace as 'Eyes' lifted her. It felt like every part of her aching and battered body was trying to tell her the same thing all at the same time:
"Leave us the smuck alone!"
Tell? No, scream, holler, yell. She let out a groan of pure agony, hoping 'Eyes' would take the hint and be gentle. She couldn't tell if it worked, as 'Eyes' just started toward the front. Every step was like ripping open an old wound that had already scabbed over and massaging in some
(therapeutic and good for healing)
Dead Sea salt. Innay screwed her eyes shut tightly, just imagining that the pain would lessen some. And miraculously, it did. It became somewhat tolerable as 'Eyes' hopped lightly out of the smoking vehicle. Even the landing did nothing to aggravate any of her pains. Looking past 'Eyes' as she was carried away, she was shocked to see the vehicle that she had just left. Not only was it's colour powder blue, but it was a mini-van! She had boarded a beige-orange, 40-passenger bus! What in the smucking world was happening to her?
Ok, we're finally going to clear somethings up. And also, get to see more of Sunaky. I do so adore a stoic heroine.I write to vent, then again, I vent to create.
