The blazing sunlight stung my eyes, and I tried to shield them with my hand, but it was no use. All around me was a hubbub of noise. Through the gaps between my fingers, I could just make out a crowd gathered around me, their mouths moving as they said something. But my eyes seemed veiled, everything blurry. No matter how hard I tried to focus, I couldn't make out their faces. My ears were the same. All I could hear was a cacophony of noise, while I watched mouths opening and closing. I couldn't see clearly, and I couldn't hear clearly. My head felt heavy, my eyelids felt heavy, my body felt heavy, even my breathing felt heavy... I tried to open my mouth, but no sound came out... Where was I? Who were they? What had happened to me?
