She could hear the soft, feeble, whimpering cries somewhere next to her. Her mind which was in an anaesthetic haze slowly began to focus back on the source of the sound but the excruciating pain made the task difficult. She wanted to relapse back into the blissful oblivion of unconsciousness just for some more time […]
