Chapter 38
For a moment, my ears seemed to lose all function—everything around me fell into deafening silence.
It felt as if a scalding giant hand had slammed me into the ground.
I coughed up a mouthful of blood, my internal organs seemingly displaced by the
impact.
Thick smoke billowed into the air, obscuring everything in sight.
Something warm trickled down my face.
I reached up to touch it, and my palm came away smeared with blood.
Joseph had been thrown by the explosion, lying sprawled not far from me.
I tried to get up, but my legs refused to support me.
With trembling hands, I crawled toward him, my knees scraping against the rough ground.
Reaching him, I checked for breath, praying desperately.
Thankfully, he was still alive.
Gunshots echoed again, faint but approaching fast.
Fighting against panic, I hoisted Joseph onto my back, staggering to my feet.
I stumbled forward, but armed men were everywhere, their shadows looming menacingly.
Forced to change course, I turned and plunged deeper into the forest.
I had no idea how long I ran. My legs gradually numbed until I could no longer feel them.
Finally, my strength gave out, and I collapsed to the ground.
