Emberwood afypnízo

When he finally awoke, his whole body felt heavy, like someone had pulled rocks on top of him and left him there to die. Maybe they had. Maybe it would have been better.

His eyes cracked open to the dim sunlight of an overcast sky. He felt like he'd been sleeping for ages. How long had he been asleep?

Did it matter?

He closed his eyes again, hoping to forget.

Hoping no one had seen him open them at all.
