She looks over at her nightstand. The red numbers of her clock mocking her, showing 5:26. It's been two hours.

Two hours spent in this position.

Two hours of coping with the pain she felt throughout her entire body.

Two hours spent in and out of consciousness.

Two hours with barely any clothes on to protect her from the slight chill of the Spring evening air.
