"But don't worry, once this is over, your life will no longer be in danger." Her caring smile illuminated her face as she observed his struggle to stay conscious.
His eyelids threatened to close, as though he was teetering on the edge of unconsciousness, until finally, they sealed shut, and Orion slipped into wonderland.
