Prelude
Mrs. Parks?” The man’s voice ringing as I started at my dirty hands. “Cindy, can you hear me?”
I could feel his hands beneath my shaking my body. “Not… my … name…” I tried to say more, but my even my brain felt weak. The world was shining light through the trees. I could finally feel the warmth on my skin.
“Cate…” another man shouted. My eyes barely adjusting to the change. I could hear him walking heavy and quickly to the man helping me. “Catie, are you okay?”His voice was familiar.
I was so tired and couldn’t see much in front of me.
“I can’t...” I tried to say more, but I was so tired. I felt someone grab my hand as my world sank to black.
