Helen felt the distinctive urge to curl herself into a ball and block out the rest of the world. Unfortunately, her injuries and the narrow hospital bed made that impossible. She was meant to be resting, but every time she drifted off again, the dreams returned. Fragments of memories she didn’t possess, scenes she hadn’t witnessed. They only added to the terror she still felt, flinching in response to every shadow that crossed the room.
She had been lucky. There was no doubt in her mind they would have killed her had they not been interrupted, but that was a thought she would rather not dwell on. Her ribs throbbed with the memory, and she made an extra effort to stay as still as possible.
As the warm pull of sleep threatened to overtake her again, her thoughts turned to Winnie. Was she being looked after properly? Did she know something was wrong? She missed the greyhound’s almost constant companionship.
Unable to keep her eyes open any longer, she finally drifted into a light sleep only to have the nurse come in and wake her. Once the young woman had left, she sighed softly, closing her eyes. Perhaps, this time, the dreams would be avoided.
