Chapter 17

Find your happy place.

Isn't that what they always say whenever you're trapped in the dark, alone, frightened and desperate for some small chink of light to help guide you out? Well I used to have a happy place. Not anymore. Thoughts of our home, our marriage, our life together were all swept away in the flood, as if some great tsunami of blood came and destroyed everything I had ever cherished. Now that was gone and in its place was nothing but a lie. Now, in its place was nothing but pain. And that is how I awoke. In pain. In fear of pain. And I don't know what was greater, the pain itself or the certainty that I was about to experience more than I could ever imagine. More pain than when I was writhing in a vampire's basement, saying farewell to my human life and feeling my organs fail one by one, feeling my own heart stop beating, feeling nothing but death as it triumphed over my broken body.
