- So by the time I was throwing myself off of the roof and away from the bomb, it had already gone off, and —
- PAIN
- — the world melted away again.
- For an eternity, the agony was all I felt. Liquid fire along every inch of skin, acid poured all over me, every single nerve prodded with a hot iron. I burned, hotter and hotter and hotter, like I was falling into the sun, like every bit of me was being seared away, like if I let it, even my mind would destroyed.
- That broken arm had nothing on this.
- The landing was jarring, but I barely felt it. I was trying, desperately, hopelessly, to keep myself from falling over some invisible edge, from breaking, and it felt like I was holding onto my sanity by my fingertips. After a moment, the sound of someone screaming, loud enough and shrill enough to wake the dead, started to pierce through the white hot agony of my torment.
- It was another few seconds before I realized it was me.
- Somehow, someway, I managed to hold on, even as I screamed until my throat was raw and aching. Even as the bruise on my back throbbed, now more painful than it had ever been, I managed to hold on. Even as I wished, wished for something as sweet as an end, I managed to hold on.
- And then, finally, the agony began to fade, and I panted, out of breath and exhausted, as I came back to myself and my world became more than just me and that pain.
- It was hard to focus. Even though the pain was starting to go away, my arms and legs still trembled from it. I felt as weak as a newborn and twice as vulnerable. A fly could have killed me, for all I could have stopped it, right then.
