Waves

“You need more time” the growl repeated – with the same force, but much softer this time.  Although not understanding why, Charlotte sensed the voice was right.  There was a soothing comfort to it, which grew as the mist thickened around her. The growl slowly transformed to a lulling voice and continued to repeat “You need more time”.

When all she could see was white mist about her – not even her body was visible – the voice stopped.  In the emptiness and quiet, she felt strangely at ease – almost afloat – a cooling breeze seemed to flow through her.

Her mind was clearing again – at least she felt it was until a small rumble swelled somewhere below her – she started to feel a voice-like vibration and heat flow upwards to envelop her …and then, as if a door had slammed shut, the voice vibration and heat were gone.

She sensed that a corner of her mind had been blocked – there was something missing, but she found herself relieved not to be able to recall it.  The ripples in the mist distracted her thoughts – cooling waves washed over her again – and the soothing voice returned as a whisper.  “You are safe now Charlotte – we will protect you – you are almost ready”.

She started to drift a little to the side – an odd sensation – no real body movement; just a drift … “Yes” whispered the voice.

The sensation of finger tips surprised her…

draws her eyes up from her book

she is never close enough
