"BAAAAAM"

When he awoke, a high sound penetrated his ear. He didn't see clearly, there were black an white dots in his vision. He shook his head but the headache became worse.

´Where was I a moment ago? What was I doing?´

The sound changed to a ringing tone, he didn't hear anything, then there was suddenly crying and whimpers of people. He tried to focus his eyes but he only saw dust. He understood now that he was outside, on a street, there were others.

He stared down and looked at the black shirt on his body, it had a slogan on it but he couldn't make out what it said,his jeans were blue with strange red spots on it.

´Blood?´

He heard a hysterical voice: "Was there a bomb? Was there a bomb?"

Somebody screamed and he lifted his head. He wanted to see who was talking, but the dust had not settled down and he saw no wider than to his shoes.

Coughing sounds shook the air, but he wasn't strong enough to follow suit- so he just breathed heavily.

He wanted to touch his head but he had a bad premonition he shouldn't touch there, because he was too sluggish to be normal,- so something wasn't right with his head, he had to put down the hand that was already halfway up.

He sat there on the street with no idea where he was, who he was, what happened and where the crying and yelling came from, it was a long time later that he could see clearer, the dust settling a bit.

There was so much sand on the spot before him and rocks, some black rocks and some rubble, he could identify some shadows and one was the woman who yelled before: "Where is the police? Why isn't anyone here yet?" 

A bigger shadow came to himself and asked "Are you okay?"

He needed a good while to process the question: "M-me? Are you....talking... to m-me"

The big shadow came nearer and sucked in cold breath "Oh boy...buddy you have to get asap to the hospital, your head is.... fuck man....." Now he couldn't withstand the urge and touched his head, it felt like a foreign object, not only his head but also the long thing stuck in it "Ah". His hands fell as he understood, he vomited on the ground. Something stuck in his head, a metal-like thing.

"Oh boy...is there..." the big man in front of him took a deep breath and yelled "Is a doctor here, we need help! NOW!"

After vomiting he couldn't hold back to get that damn thing out of his head, he knew he shouldn't and it could cost him his life, but his insides screamed ´GET THAT OUT NOW´.

He raised his hands again, but before he could touch that foreign object the big shadow sat behind him circled his arms around, imprisoning him, so that he couldn't move.

Nobody answered but they could hear the woman after a bit : "Where is the police, ambulance, anything? This bloody sand, I cant see a thing!"

The big shadow sighed and said to the youth in a lower voice "Don't move buddy, everything is alright, it's going to be okay, what's your name? My name is Jack."

He felt cold and began shaking with his teeth shattering but managed to mumble "I don't know, don't remember anything..."

Jack was stunned for a moment. "Oh shit... okay I understand, no problem. I´ll tell you what I remember. I was on my way to a friend and then something happend before I blacked out, I have no idea what, but I can tell something should have striked the ground, dont know if it was a bomb or a meteor or a plane, we can´t see wider than a few meters, I have no idea what happend and where the ambulance is, and I have to say buddy..." he paused "fuck... Im scared."
