MASON’S POV

Pain. Brain-numbing pain. It consumes my entire body, forcing screams from my throat.

Then, nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The world is dark even though I’m fairly certain it’s the middle of the day. I don’t even know if my eyes are open or closed. All I know is that something’s happening to me. Something… strange.

My body begins tingling. Not with pain, just… feeling. I don’t know how to describe what it feels like, just that it feels. Honestly, anything is better than pain.

But of course I speak too soon, because the pain is back. And it’s worse than before. Much worse.

Blinding light pierces my vision. I’m fairly certain that my eyes are open now, what with the sudden bombardment of brightness.

The pain is unbearable. It’s everywhere and nowhere at once. In my brain, but also not.

My mouth opens and releases a scream.

No, not a scream. A howl.

Final Comments: Hmm…
