Snow
There is a soft rumble, stirring your mind slightly. You let your head tilt back without effort, without resistance - eyes closed as you exhale slowly through your nose. A brief moment of anxiety bubbles up; then fades away- you feel weightless- light and lightheaded. The calm babbling of a stream of water lies somewhere beyond your reach. A dull throb makes its way into the foreground and you open your mouth to let out something between a groan and a sigh. You don't want to wake up, though your mind fogs at why. Your parched lips peel open as you exhale.
But instead of letting out a groan, you feel your chest warp in pain. A cough makes its way up and you choke it out, gasping for breath.
Press space to open your eyes.
