Blackness is all you see. The icy, damp, solid ground is the only thing your rigid back feels. You consider whether you should cry out, but your own sobs get caught in your throat, and your shouts become muffled. You think desperate thoughts about how someone will be concerned if you didn’t reach your destination, but you’re all alone.
