Summary
Luther was forcefully thrown into consciousness.
His eyes were sealed shut with crust and he attempted to pull them apart. All the strength in the world and he only managed to expose a sliver of each.
Things were blurry. Cold. Quiet. The shallow ceiling above his cot was an excruciating shade of white. His teeth chattered.
There was no sunlight here.
Luther opened his mouth and tried to speak, but nothing came out. He tried again, his tongue cracked dry where it met his teeth, but his voice was absent from his tightened throat. He weakly flung his head to and fro, but his neck was heavy and unmoving too.
I’m still here. I’m still alive.
His breathing was shallow but steady, rhythmic where it lifted his massive, burdensome chest, and for that, he felt the unmistakable urge to sob gather in his lungs.
