Rude Awakening
After a period of time, Carmen woke up. Shocked, she realized she no longer heard the sound, but her head was pounding. How long had she been unconscious? She couldn’t even get to her feet because she had no strength at all.
Crawling to Safety
Carmen immediately started to crawl back to safety, but that high-pitched sound started up again when she did. It caused her to cry because it was a nightmare for her. Finally, she realized that it was closer to evening, but she’d started early in the morning.
