As I slowly awakened from what seemed like an eternity of darkness, my senses gradually returned, each one igniting with a newfound awareness. With a gentle touch, I traced the contours of my neck, feeling a sensation both foreign and familiar. It was as though my body had been through a tumultuous journey, leaving behind remnants of its trials and tribulations.
My fingers lingered on the tender skin, tracing the outline of a faint scar that marred its surface. How did it come to be there? What unseen battles had I fought in the depths of my unconsciousness? Questions swirled in my mind like whispers carried on the wind, elusive and enigmatic.
