Chapter 64: Back

My body became light, and all the pain had dissipated from my body. I felt like I was floating through the air, as light as clouds. I felt a jolt spread from my chest to my body like electricity surging through all my nerve endings. My body felt heavy and my feet felt like they touched the earth again. They collapsed from under me and I fell onto the floor with a loud thud.

I awoke in bed. The room was dimly lit with candles and sunlight peaked in through the cracks on the boarded windows. I no longer felt any pain, and my strength had returned and more. I stretched and walked out the door. The house was empty but I could hear chatter outside. I pushed open the door and the sunlight temporarily blinded me.

Everyone was talking and laughing to each other like they were a big family.
