The sound of his own heavy breathing finally convinced Joseph Haden he was alive. He’d been opening and closing his eyes, struggling to focus on a shape moving in front of him. His vision cleared revealing a plump but regal woman leaning over him. He recoiled at the sight of her, she was furryeared and snub-nosed, a half-cat, half-woman, but his head couldn’t press any further into the pillow.
He shut his eyes, feigning sleep and resisting the urge to open them again. He heard voices but couldn’t understand what was being said – his head felt fuzzy. He tried moving his feet and felt the sheets against his toes, next, his hands, but there was no sensation there. Remember, I must try to remember, he urged himself.
