Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
Metal shrieked as it scraped against stone in a ear piercing echo throughout the damp chamber. Moisture dripped onto Josephina's out stretched palm. The ground was rough and wet against the raw skin of her back. Her eyes fluttered behind closed lids as her head swam.
Ugh. Wha…
She tried to flex her fingers and felt them achingly move. Everything hurt.
Where am I? Her eyes opened with difficulty, like something was making her eyelashes stick together. She took a hard labored breath and noticed it stank of sweat, blood, wet stone and… something else. What happened?
She tried to remember as she willed herself to sit up, hearing metal rattle as something weighed her wrists down.
