Re: Island: Janus/Atticus
Didn't scream. Was fairly sure he didn't scream. Didn't remember screaming if he did scream. Quite possibly screamed. But was too focused on the endless pain to realize the voice he was hearing was his own. Still tried to yank on his hand, but gave up after a while. Didn't realize that either, but he did. Was human nature, maybe, to stop fighting eventually.
Was sagging and sweating by the time Janus was muttering. Didn't notice that either, really. The muttering. Had his eyes open, but was mostly unseeing. Unfocused. Like a bad amusement park ride, and just willing it to end. Had to end eventually.
