It was the strangest sensation. She was floating in the air and looking down she could see her body. She'd done this before many times but this time it felt different. She wasn't in control but strangely it didn't seem to matter. It felt as though everything she had cared about had remained with her body and it seemed almost funny to her as she saw one of the men surrounding it doing something to her chest while another looked as though he was intermittently kissing her. She smiled as she continued to float upwards, the further from her body she became the more right it felt. She could hear nothing of what the men below her said but one of them was shouting into something, gesturing frantically at her body. It just didn't matter to her.
As if out of nowhere another man appeared, wearing a coat and wide brimmed hat. He looked at her body before turning his eyes upwards and looking directly at her. Something about this man felt different, he wasn't like the others.
She floated higher away from him and could hear voices calling her as he seemed as trapped on the ground as her body.
She'd hardly registered that the actions of the men doing things to her body seemed to get more desperate as the shouting man became more frantic. She was sure it would have mattered. Another man came but she didn't care. It looked as though he'd passed straight through the hat wearing man who was still looking at her as he walked quickly towards her body and knelt beside it. The new man had something with him that had long things attached to it when he opened it and two funny shaped things that she would have recognised.
It didn't matter.
The man wearing the hat and coat spoke and strangely she could hear his words, "Come back Robyn! Come back!"
Robyn? That word seemed familiar. The voices she was getting ever closer to were calling her that as well their tone was soothing while the man in the hat's voice seemed harsh. None of the people surrounding her body seemed to be able to hear him.
"Robyn! Come back! Don't listen to them! Come back!"
She watched as the new man took out two coloured shapes and placed them on her body's chest. He took the funny shaped things and placed them on her chest as well. She saw her back arch and seemed to feel something that passed as swiftly as an eye blinks.
It still didn't seem to matter.
"Robyn! You have to come back! Kit needs you! Robbie needs you! Sportacus needs you! They all need you!"
Something about the names the man in hat and coat had called out seemed to mean something to her. Her progress upwards seemed to halt as she saw her body's back arch once again.
"Don't let them win, don't let the voices take you!"
The new man seemed to point and shout something at another. As he was handed something long and slender with a point to end of it she felt herself floating downwards. The voices that she'd heard above her now seemed to be all around her, their calming tones now turned to ones of anger.
"Keep coming Robyn, don't let them stop you!" The man in the hat and coat shouted.
She became frightened as hundreds of hands appeared and were joined with expressionless masks with hollow eyes. The hands were reaching out for her, trying to grab her as she continued to float downwards. The new man held the pointy object high up and seemed to measure three finger spaces on her body's chest and brought it down hard thrusting it into her heart... just as one of the pairs of hands grabbed her.
