With the way that the blur before him hadn’t move or spoken, he thought for sure the figure wouldn’t help. He’d be left there to die and rot away into the earth, with no one to remember he had lived. He’d closed his eyes and just prepared for it, prepared for his life to slip from him tiny little hands. Then he felt it, the cool ground beneath him disappeared and instead was replaced with something warm, so warm. His eyes slowly opened and he glanced at the blurred figure. All he could do was nod. He didn’t want to die, so he’d hold on to that tiny slither of life that was left.
He felt something press against his stomach and the pain just radiated through his whole body. But, at the very least the pain had helped him to remain awake, to remain focused. The pain helped him, it reminded him that he was still alive. He was still alive. He needed to hold onto this feeling.
Before he could even think to respond to the blurred figure they were off. The things around him blurred past him, so fast. He closed his eyes for just a second, but when he opened it, everything had looked so, different. He felt so dazed and confused but he knew one thing at least, this wasn’t home. He tried to sit up but the pain in his belly was too much. He was forced to lay back down again. He wondered, how long had he been asleep…since. He gently shook his head. No he didn’t want to think about it. At least not right now.
He let his mind wander to other things like had he even been asleep? What if he was dead? That man made him promise to stay alive? What if he’d died while that man was trying to save him? “….I-Is anyone here?”
