Euandros woke up, but he couldn't feel anything.
He could see things, hear things, but his sense of touch was gone. Or at least, it became numb. Even his bewilderment in this felt like it was barely present, his emotions stunted. He can barely feel anything, from the inside and outside.
And it scared him. It truly scared him in such a profound way that would be difficult to explain.
He struggled to feel anything. He went to touch the bedpost and expected hardness and coldness, but instead only felt the pressure as he gripped it tighter. He tried to touch the sheets next, expecting softness and thinness. But instead, he could only sense the creases he made as he crumpled it.
What is this?
What is this emptiness that he couldn't describe?
