I couldn’t feel my body. It was numb . . . or broken? The only consciousness was that of my sluggish and addled brain. What kind of drugs did they give me? Do I only have a head left?

Can you give her anything?” “I’ll give her a little more. She’ll be out for a few hours.” “Nadia, sweetheart, I’ll be right here. I’m not going anywhere. You’ll be okay, I promise.” Where am I? I cracked my eyes open to darkness. “Sweetheart?”
