EXCERPT:
Hot sweat dripped down Eli’s face. His legs, up to his hips, were heavy. His head felt like it belonged to someone who had been dragged for miles by a dozen mules and left for dead. The air was cold, but his body burned as he stared subconsciously into the darkness. A sickly smell, a cross between rusty metal and vinegar, wafted around him.
He tried to remember where he was, but his recollection of events from the night before did not match the powerless state he found himself in. Although his heart was pounding heavily in his chest, to him, it felt strangely nonexistent. It was as though his body, from his waist up, belonged to someone else, and everything he’d ever known had vanished.
