   Summary

   A storm brewed six feet under. The snap of lightning muffled his hearing — or was it the feathers that surrounded him and filled his lungs? His eyes burned with tears as he gagged on them, keratin points scraping his throat raw.

   Unable to breathe, unable to see, unable to hear, his muscles screamed as he clawed blindly through dust and grit. His body felt as if it was turning to stone as it begged for air. Heat painfully kissed his skin as he broke through the sand, light blinding him. He was grateful for all of it, even as his body seized and he retched plumes and sand.

   His fingers triumphantly ripped through dust after he drank in his first breath between violent gags. He couldn't help the way the corners of his mouth twitched upward.

   Nicholas D. Wolfwood was going to survive.
