"argh..." That sound snapped me to the realization that I was conscious...the pain came next and suddenly. God it entirely overwhelmed my senses and I gasped in the sudden realization that I was perhaps entirely broken. I felt the numbness though in my left arm and cringed mentally. As much as I hated it the pain was there and comforting in a way...I was in pain therefore I was alive and had feeling in the limbs. The numbness though...god the numbness couldn't be good. I took a deep breath and attempted to move my arm praying and hoping to feel some sort of sensation. Nothing answered me...no movement and no pain. Tears would have overwhelmed me but I lacked the hydration to produce them it seemed. That startled me and fueled my need and urge to raise my head and look around. Trees..huge overwhelming trees that blocked the view for miles and thick closed off underbrush graced only by the minimal paths animals have paved out.
A small smirk graced my lips as the thought that I must have traveled a great distance while unconscious for the landscape to have changed from the sparsely covered forest floor of the past forest. Attempting to turn my head to the side I cringed as a new wave on anguish onset. This time it was accompanied by a harsh chill as some feeling soaked past the pain. I needed to move and get myself out of the chilly water. The fact the water was stationary once again caused my mind to wander and try and move my head to observe the area around me. Cringing I pushed my hand out and gripped into the sand biting my lip as the cries began seeping past my teeth. With one last urge of strength I forced myself onto my side and took in what had been behind me. A waterfall perhaps seventeen feet upward met with the small pond I was laying in to explain the numerous pain I was experiencing. I attempted to process things I suppose but my mind began fuzzing and I knew once again I was loosing my thin grasp on reality.
