James
James felt himself slowly regaining consciousness. He didn’t know where he was or how long he had been out. He could barely see in front of his nose, and his body felt light.
And the buzzing in his ears was still there, but it was fainter now. What he was certain of was that someone or something was carrying him away from the object.
