Chapter 63: Bryony

It’s been weeks since I awakened from the sleep brought on by the wound in my shoulder. Upon first awakening my mind had been a muddle of confusing thoughts.

Scenes had played out in my head, running together one after the other until my brain felt like it would split in two.

And then it was as if some door in my mind had finally been opened and everything came rushing back all at once. As I untangled the mess of my thoughts the story begun to unfold.

The pain in my shoulder was nothing compared to the one in my heart. I could not understand all that had happened to bring me to this point no matter how hard I tried.

My past came back in bits and pieces with large chunks missing. I knew such fear then as I tried to blend the two halves of myself together in my mind. Until my memory returned fully, there was nothing I could do.
