Bound by Earth,
p.33
The pain grew in intensity, and she wondered why she was still alive. Shouldn’t I have burned up by now? How long did it take the human body to burn until death occurred? She wondered. That would have been helpful information to know. At least she would know how long her torture would last. And if burning alive didn’t kill her quickly enough (and it obviously wasn’t), then maybe they should have taught how long it took to die from smoke inhalation. Then, at least she could breathe deeper to hopefully hasten her demise. Just die already, Shelly thought, hoping if she couldn’t force herself to wake up, then maybe she could end her life faster by willing it so.
Good grief. You know things are bad when you are trying to will yourself to die.
She wished she could move, even if it was just to flail about like an idiot. Anything would be better than being frozen in her burning flesh. As the frustration built inside of her, Shelly found herself screaming every profanity she could think of, though it was only inside of her mind since she had no control over her body. She let the pain overtake her and rage followed on the anger’s heels. When she was exhausted from screaming, she cried. When she didn’t have the energy left to cry, she just burned.
