I can't hear, oh dear Gods I can't hear and it's so bright and---
And then it's not bright thank fuck but there's still the matter of the ringing, no... screaming in my head. I try to stand on my own once the bright goes away, but the wailing in my skull and the fact that every goddamn piece of me hurts makes that just about impossible. And why am I wet? The sky rumbles and it makes my teeth rattle, along with the high pitched thoughts my daughter all but demanding to know where I am.
"Here baby... mummy's okay..." I think towards her, then realize I am speaking out loud.
"...want to nap?" "Sounds great." I mumble, leaning heavily against the body next to me as I'm eased down to the ground. "Where's the whiskey?"
Wait... whiskey? "But why do we need...?" I ponder aloud, and finally the noise in my head starts to recede and my eyes start to refocus and....
"So was it good for you?" I blink at him in absolute shock. I can feel his arm around me, and my shoulder against his, but I still have to reach up and touch his face.
"Holy shit... it worked?" I ask incredulously. "I'm not dead... and it worked?"
