Chapter Twenty-Two
Darkness surrounded her. Sarai saw nothing, not even a pinprick of light. But she was conscious and aware.
Her body ached all over, but mainly on the left side. The skin on her shoulder stung as she shifted and the material of her shirt rubbed against the torn skin. Her jaw ached when she winced from the pain of her shoulder. Her hip throbbed when she tried to curl into the fetal position seeking comfort from the pain.
She’d hit rock bottom again. Literally this time. But the pain didn’t only radiate from her skin and bones. It went deeper. She felt it in her gut. Sarai was desperately hungry.
It went beyond her stomach needing food. Her soul felt starved. Her spirit felt famished. Her heartfelt ravenous. Only one thing would satisfy her.
“Can I see her?”
