*BANG*


I can taste fire.


What do you mean?


Fire...Pain!


What kind of pain?


Who are you?


The one asking the questions. What kind of pain?


Fire, I taste fire. It burns...


Calm.


What do you mean?


I mean, stay calm! Where are you?


Here.


No, where?


Here, I'm here!


Focus, I need you to focus!


Who are you?


The one asking the questions. Now, where?


In my house, I'm in my house.


Good.

It's like being punched. No, not punched – something else. Wet, my fingers are so wet. Why?


You're in your house. You're in your house, are you standing?


No.


Stand.


No. My fingers, they're wet...


I know that! You need to stand up.


No, I need to sleep.


If you sleep, it's over.


What if I want it to be over?


You don't!


How do you know?


I know.


Who are you?


The one asking the questions. Now, get up!
