Chapter One

My love

It’s dark... why is it so dark?

He opened his eyes, closed them again and opened them a second time. Still there was nothing but darkness. Damnit, what the hell... He shook his head which was immediately punished with a nagging pain that was strong enough to almost make him throw up. "God..." he uttered in a coarse voice that didn’t even seem to belong to him.
