Sarah's Situation

Sarah was drifting in and out of consciousness by the second; why couldn't she hold onto reality? She couldn't take it anymore and she let go and the blackness took over. It was hours later when she finally awoke with a monster headache. She whimpered and slowly sat up. Her head throbbed and she soon loss her sense of balance and crumpled to the ground. What had happened? She'd simply gone out to the woods to find Brownie, her cat, before dark; she was always worried that he would get lost in the night. She'd taken her flashlight with the baggy of extra batteries, just in case the light died while she was out. She wore her thick, rubber, rain boots (never know what you might step in in those woods) and carried out an umbrella (what if there was a sudden monsoon?). She'd been walking along when she heard a small noise - maybe that was Brownie. She took a few steps off the path, but not too many, she didn't want to get lost. Then it happened - a hard, blunt object hit her head. She stumbled and fell to her knees - she was too shocked to scream. She fought maddeningly to hold onto consciousness to see who would do such a thing, but there was no one around, and she couldn't stand it much longer, and that's when she gave in to the darkness.

Now she was awake, unable to do anything but lay on the ground. She realized it was dark and she shivered. Where was her flashlight? She hated the dark, she didn't want to move, afraid she's roll on top of a snake or squirrel or whatever other creepy-crawlies lived on the floor of the forest. She tried searching with her eyes, but that didn't matter, all she wanted to do was get off this dirty ground and find some light.
