Sam stretched his legs in front of him, wincing as the fresh stitches threatened to give way. Above him the sun was bright, the air around him bitter cold.

He pulled his right arm close to his chest and swallowed back the sharp taste of iron and bile.

Sam wasn't sure how long he'd been there, knew that he was stuck in the middle of nowhere.

He shut his eyes.
