29 October 2012
A dream....or was it a memory...played out in my head. Both were teeming with darkness present days.
The scene was dark and bleak. The sky was brown and full of dust clouds, blocking any pure light only to give the surrounding area a sepia tone .
The earth was dead. No trees. No grass. No life.
Nothing....
Suddenly I saw movement from three figures up ahead. I peered in to the distance, trying to get a clearer image.
Moving a little closer the image was still blurry, but outlines were easily seen. Two of them were on the ground. Kneeling. Subdued. The one figure standing over them, with a gun pointed at their heads.
No. Please...please No! Not again.
I didn't want to go through this...not again!
I ran towards them. But time became my enemy slowing me down and pulling me back.
The image was still blurry, but the sound was clear.
There was a bang... Suddenly one of the kneelers fell forward. There was no movement.
A scream pierced the air. I didn't realise it was me till the standing figure turned and pulled the trigger. The bullet punched through my stomach, ripping my skin with it.
I stopped....
My breath held. My hands clutched my stomach, whilst I watched my life seep through my hands. My legs buckled. And that breath left me. Alone.
Another bullet shot rang out... And with it my hope. Any hope...all gone.
Suddenly needles shot through my blood as I woke up from my own hell and demons. My back arched as the needles pushed through my whole body. My mouth open in a silent scream.
A slam sounded as I dropped mid arch, and a heavy weight landed on my body, pining my arms and legs to the bed. My gaze instantly landed on cool two blue eyes.
"Ssh it's ok April, it's fine your safe"
I started to settle, to listen to the calm voice, until I realised who had hold of me.
"NO!" I yelled, "Get off me NOW"
I tried bucking him off, but to no avail. Screaming my voice rang out, along with a sudden loud beeping as I ripped a cord from the machine I was hooked in to.
Two nurses and doctor rushed in.
"Sam get off her quick" The doctor snapped.
"I would Doctor, but ..."
"NOW!" The doctor yelled.
Sam slipped off me, and the two nurses replaced him. Holding my arms and legs down. I started to settle now that he was removed from me.
The doctor seeing this opportunity stabbed me with a needle full of instant knock out solution.
My body froze up, the only movement from my chest. My breathing heavy and laboured from all the activity.
"There all better now" The calm voice of the doctor broke the sudden silence we had created.
Nothing happened in the next few seconds. But I was prepare for the lull, despite it's name instant knockout really wasn't instant.
"What happened Sam?"
Before I could hear his reply though the expected wave of exhaustion crashed over me, and I again was transported into the darkness of my mind....
