Wake up.
I became aware of the frown on my face as soon as I gained consciousness. A radiant ray glistened from the window across my left eye. It narrowed the pupil and created warmth in a strip along my skin. The sunlight was headache inducing.
Dusty particles pirouetted across the beam, vanishing as soon as they crossed to the other side. I took a deep breath and a pungent stench attacked my insides. I opened my mouth to avoid it, but the smell enveloped my lungs after clinging to the back of my throat.
I tried to stand. My legs weren’t listening, they stayed heavy on the floor. As I shifted my head away from the sunlight the rest of the room became clear.
I was just one of many.
Rows and rows of them and the only one moving was me.
Definitely a sensory oriented piece!
Wow, this is incredibly powerful, disturbing and haunting and I love the way you created the visual.

Thank you, that’s much appreciated! One day I will write a happy tale…
Looking forward to it…hope you have reason to do so 🙂
Sorry, I wasn’t able to join you the previous weeks. 🙂 I was on a break. This week, I am in.
A lovely piece of writing. The last sentence gives it a whole new angle and leaves you wondering.
