Pain…
Intense pain…
It felt as if his abdomen was stretching outward. As if his inwards were tied and twisted. And as if tongues of flame were licking his body.
The worst part was that no matter how hard he shouted for help, no one seemed to hear him. No one answered to him. He was merely stewing in that heat, suffering while waiting for relief.
Then it came, the light at the end of the darkness. Albeit, with it came another wave of crushing pain, much, much worse.
The brighter the light, the more unbearable it became, as if burning him. His whole body shook with the pain issuing from his right side, as if a hundred knives had been thrust and twisted there.
His eyelids fluttered, and peeled away slowly, revealing the roof of the tent covering them.
