Snippet 3-Waking up
Feverishly swimming up from unconsciousness my heart stops for a moment, briefly skipping before returning to its regular rhythm. Blinking rapidly in the sunlight as I slowly push my face from the metal floor of the small cockpit I could see blue cloudless skies above me.
Pulling my knees under me I sit back on my heels and flick the purple haze, my hair, from my face. I look out the domed ceiling/window: hills of grass surround me but , my heart flutters stutters, no sign of my younger sister. Biting down hard on my lower lip I force down the nausea forming in the back of my throat and shuffling onto my feet I stand, grasping behind me for the seat I had fallen from.
Sliding to the back of the seat, my head falling back onto the head rest. My shattered thoughts rearrange into horror films of what could become of a five year old girl , lost all alone, in a time and place not her own.
