A six ton elephant was sitting on my chest. It wasn't particularly interested in moving so I could breathe and it certainly wasn't helping the burning pain radiating out from the hole in my chest. At least it was probably staunching the blood. What was left of it. I was pretty sure I'd been bleeding out when I'd lost consciousness.  


It was hard to think past the pain. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I was cognizant enough to recognize that pain was actually a good thing. Something about not being dead. I wasn't sure how long that would be the case. But my body was trying to repair the damage. Healing was painful business, and I was stuck between forms. Mostly human, but my insides felt scrambled. I was pretty sure that was the only reason I was still alive. My heart had relocated, shifting over in preparation for becoming a wolf. So instead of a one way trip to hell, I got a collapsed lung. Peachy.
