Author's Note: mh. Publishing this, just because I'm not ever public ... is inspired by something that I dreamed one night, as regards the setting at least.
Damn cold!
I sometimes ask myself why do I need to publish here, really XD
But never mind, it's always something, right?
I want a cup of hot chamomile ...
He opened his eyes, drawing a deep, noisy breathing, apnea was almost up to that point, and found himself staring at the brilliant blue sky.
A thick head made him tighten his jaw and fists, it was as if someone was trying to open his skull with a hole in a corkscrew.
After that the pain was reduced, he brought a hand to his face to shield his face from the sun, was surprised to find dirt and grass land.
His brain recorded the information and after a few seconds, came to the conclusion that it was in was a meadow. Not that the thing was very useful, since it lacked other essential information, such as, for example, who he was or how he got there in a meadow.
A motion of panic takes your breath away and he, as a reaction, curled up on itself.
She listened and was able to distinguish, in addition to the hum of insects, music. It was a happy and familiar melody, but there were other noises, more distant and less real: he seemed to hear someone screaming in the distance, but, however hard he tried, he could not understand what.
- Are you going to stay there much longer? - said a female voice.
He winced, standing up so suddenly, he almost ended up back on the ground.
The person who had spoken let out a chuckle. She was a girl, with hair so blond it seemed white and blue eyes so as to appear fake.
was dressed in black and white, which he did emphasize his pale complexion.
- are about to begin. - Continued, staring through the eyes of a teacher who patiently tries to restore order an unruly pupil.
The boy opened and closed his mouth a few times, but without able to say anything.
He was still trying to come to terms with her situation and had a throbbing headache and the girl, whoever she was, had to stand in line and wait his turn.
But she did not seem to have sensed this reasoning, because he grabbed my arm and began to drag in the direction from which came the music.
He tried, without great success, to resist and, for a moment, he was blinded, although the sun is behind him, the same as if someone shined a light in his eyes.
She stopped so suddenly he ran into, he turned and, with serious look, he asked
- What's your name?
He was silent a moment still, then, for the first time since he woke up in that place, he spoke, his voice hoarse and breathless:
- I have not the faintest idea.
She gave a half smile.
- a name is a bit 'long. - He said.
The boy stared at her blankly.
- It was not much of a joke, right?
- Not at all. - He said.
She shrugged her shoulders, then began to drag.
Again the boy tried to point the foot, and since he had already done it once, he decided to speak again.
- Where we'd be going? - Felt a strange taste in mouth, almost metallic.
There was no answer, but, in contrast, saw their goal.
For a hundred yards away, there were circus tents blacks and whites and a small church in a poor condition. Around the tents there were people, all dressed similarly to the girl.
The music was becoming closer and more strong.
- I never liked the circus. - He said. - The above clown. They all look so happy ... mortally
His interlocutor looked at him sideways, stopping.
- You do not remember your name, but you know you do not like clowns. Excuse me for saying so, but you should reconsider your priorities.
- Do not laugh ... not even that - he was interrupted by the sudden passage of a huge black and white ball.
- I know what's going on here? - Churches.
- There is a party. - She said. - A ceremony of welcome. - Did not seem very happy.
- For whom? - not really interested, but focus on what was definitely better not to think that the black hole was in the brain.
- A guy. It is there in the church.
- do not seem enthusiastic. - He said, looking at the church, while his brain worked tirelessly in an attempt to make sense of everything that was going on.
- No, not particularly. - She said. By moving his eyes from the welcoming committee at the door hanging off its hinges.
- Why?
- Well, I never like when new people arrive, and then that guy is not very nice. Never laughs at my jokes.
- What a horrible person. - Let him escape. The girl did not seem to mind the sarcasm, because he said, looking at him with a chuckle, as if he had just said something very funny
- Really! Come on, accompany me inside. - Not that he had much choice, since she was still holding tight to the wrist.
snorted, as he brought his free hand to his chest that had suddenly begun to ache as if someone squeezing him with the same block cement.
Before potersene even realize it, he found himself inside the church. Someone somewhere was singing.
Near the altar in ruins was something that looked quite a coffin.
- I do not like even the dead. - He said.
- He is not dead. - She said, and despite himself approached the coffin.
At first, a little 'out of respect, a bit' out of fear, the boy kept his eyes down, but after a few seconds, curiosity got the better and looked up the coffin and its contents.
He jumped back: it was the least prepared for what was saved before.
In case he was there with his eyes closed and arms folded.
Then it was as if something in his brain had been unlocked. There was no pain or flashbacks, or images or feelings. Simply, the memories, which previously seemed elusive, now were there: a little 'confused, but all in order and perfectly understandable.
The road, friends, music, motorcycles, the crash, the pain and darkness.
- Now I remember your name? - The girl was staring at him with a strange smile on his lips.
He nodded, strangely quiet. The worst was still passed, right?
looked at the girl, who was still smiling.
- And now? - The churches.
- And now it begins. - she said, letting go of her wrist.
came the shock.
came the darkness.
came to light.
The monitor showed that, against all odds, the boy's heart had begun beating.
