I awoke in darkness. My eyes burned as they slowly adjusted to the light seeping through the thatch walls. I realized I was laying in a pool of water. I sat up .. too quickly. A hive of bees buzzed through my head, stinging violently. I rolled on my side and vomited.
Eventually, I rose to my feet and wobbled to the opening of my hut that served as a door. Leaning against the opening, I blinked as I tried to clear my head. Rain poured from the cloudless sky, the sun perched in the heavens like a magnificent phoenix. I turned my head to the right and choked down more vomit.
The submachine gun was directed directly at my left eye. It brushed against my eyelashes and a voice spoke "Looks like someone didn't want you in Iporá."
My mouth went dry, it and my memory were the only dry things on my body. Where is Iporá? How did I get here? Where is here? What is her name? Her ... the image that held my memory ransom, the only thing I could remember. That face, that smile, those eyes. How could I find her when I don't even know who she is? When the only thing I knew was her face and how much I loved her?
The man lowered his gun and smiled "Good to see you made it, we thought you had drowned. Welcome to Guaria .. well just outside Guaria at least. We set up base here, but we are heading out whenever you are ready. We don't have long. If we don't get her this time, we never will..."
To be continued?
