Walking a few steps into the road, I lift my hand signalling for the taxi to stop. As I do, a car's headlights come into view out of nowhere. Where the hell has that come from? It wasn’t there a few seconds ago. They’re driving so fast, I can hear the revs of the engine roar the closer he gets.
Everything happens so quickly.
A force hits me from the side, not in the direction of where the car was coming from. A blast of all-consuming pain thunders through my skull. A feeling of cold numbness runs through every part of my body.
Why are people being so loud?
The agony is too much. Why can’t I keep my eyes open?
“Harry!”
Harry? Where’s Harry?
The noises around me begin to blare into one. I can feel myself spiralling into panic as I try to catch my breath, but the pain is too much. I can feel my heartbeat pulsing through my skull. I am fighting so hard to keep my eyes open, but I’m surrounded by nothing but darkness.
