Snippet #1953801

Everything was numb. Joanne was half-conscious when Jared found her. She could barely see, and she couldn't feel anything. It felt terrible, it was as if she wasn't fully on this earth, like a part of her was beginning to float away and never come back. I guess this is what it feels like to be dying.

When she was into the warehouse she saw earlier, her nose was twitching uncomfortably. She could pick up some familiar scents in there, but the excess water in her body was diluting it.
Even though she was placed gently on a table, the pressure on her back pushed around the water in her lungs. Joanne let out a huge cough. Some water came out, but not all of it. It hurt. A lot.
But after the cough her sight became a little better. She looked up to see the man who was treating her. Jared, I think that's his name... He looked like he knew about her burns and glass cuts, but maybe not about the water. She tried to speak, to tell him about her lungs, but instead let out a gargle and another cough.
I hope that's a decent message...

Although in pain, Joanne was glad she was with at least one person she recognizes, as well as him being on the same side as her. She let her mind finally wonder around. I wonder if everyone else is in this place, too. But that might not last. That wretched relative of mine will be coming after me again, and would definitely try to kill me this time. Not only that, but even though he got fired from the facility, he's still in touch with them. He might bring the facility with him this time! That would be terrible! I need to tell everyone about this! No.... I can't do anything right now... I need to heal first.

Joanne stared at at Jared again, watching him treat her wounds. Another cough came out, and she tried to speak again.
"Where's.....S-Skyler?"
