It felt like he was swimming through mud, struggling to fight his way to
the surface. Eventually, he was able to pry open one eye, then the other.
It was as if grains of sand were scraping against the inside of his eyelids. He
tried to move, but his arms and legs were leaden. He took several slow,
deep breaths, and then, with a monumental effort, forced himself into a
sitting position. A moan of pain escaped his lips with the effort. He blinked
several times as his surroundings came into focus.
It appeared to be a spacious living room. But it was in shambles. There
was a white leather sofa across from him, its stuffing poking up from
slashes in the cushions. A sleek, black chair stood at one side of the sofa, its
mate lay opposite, toppled onto its side. The sofa sat at a strange angle
before a large window, currently obscured by vertical blinds. Slivers of
sunlight seeped out from the top and bottom, letting him know that it was
daylight outside. In front of the sofa, the shards from a broken glass-top
table were scattered across the thick, Arctic shag rug which lay beneath.
He lifted his gaze to slowly sweep over the rest of the room and noted
more overturned furnishings and items scattered about. A cracked crystal
vase lay on its side; the bouquet of fresh flowers that had clearly once been
inside it now lay wilted and crushed in a puddle of water on the hardwood
floor. Artwork that was still on the walls hung askew, the rest lay in broken
frames on the floor.
The floor plan of the space was open, and he could see the dining area
from where he sat. A marble dining table held a partially empty bottle of
wine and two wine glasses. Beside them sat what must have once been a
charcuterie tray. He could see the dried-up remains of cheeses and crackers
poking up from the edges of it.
He could tell that the decor of the place was luxurious, high end. But he
didn’t recognize any of it. And the silence of the place was profound.
“Hello?” His voice came out like a croak. He squeezed his eyes shut
against the sudden pain that rocked through his head as he spoke. He
struggled to his feet and cleared his throat, trying again. “Hello, is anyone
here?”
His words were met with silence. Confusion clouded his mind as he
tried to piece together how he’d ended up in this unfamiliar, disarrayed
space.
