Chapter 48: Confessions

Assar

The first sensation Assar felt was the soft mattress he was currently laying on. He was conscious but didn’t open his eyes immediately. He just laid there enjoying the comforting warmth of the covers pulled over him.

“This really isn’t what I expected death to feel like,” he murmured as he finally opened his eyes.

He had all of three seconds to take in his surroundings when his body promptly reminded him that whatever he had done to get himself in this position had hurt. It felt as if his entire body was just one massive bruise, and the combination of him opening his eyes and speaking aloud made his body rebel.

“Oh, ugh f*ck,” He groaned. That of course just made everything worse. So instead, he just closed his eyes again and drifted back off into unconsciousness.

When he next awoke, he opened his eyes very slowly in an attempt to ease his body back to consciousness. When there wasn’t any immediate pain, he sighed in relief.
