FORTY THREE
As Nora's eyes fluttered open, she found herself in a dark and unfamiliar room. She was lying on a narrow bed, and her head was pounding with a dull ache.
She sat up slowly, trying to remember how she had gotten there. But her memories were hazy and unclear.
Suddenly, she heard a noise behind her. She turned to see a figure standing in the shadows.
"Who are you?" Nora asked, her voice shaking with fear.
The figure stepped forward, revealing a woman with long, curly hair and a kind face.
"My name is Dr. Samantha Taylor," the woman said. "I'm a scientist who has been working to help people like you, Nora."
Nora's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean, people like me?"
Dr. Taylor smiled. "You have a special gift, Nora. A gift that could change the course of human history."
Nora's mind was racing with questions. What gift was Dr. Taylor talking about? And how did she know about it?
