Forcing my eyes to stay open, I turned them to my right and flinched. It did nothing to calm my racing heartbeat, but the pain in my head momentarily lessened. Reaching up to grab the safety belt, I steadied myself and drew in a deep shuddering breath. My neck was stiff, like the time I fel asleep with wet hair, and my head was pounding a rhythm that matched the vampire bats gnawing in my stomach. I needed to get a look around, but turning my head didn’t seem like an easy option. With a jolt I tried to leap upright, but up was down and down was up, causing a searing pain to shoot through my shoulder as I dangled from the car safety belt. I considered letting the motion lul me back to sleep, but one thought kept creeping in to ruin my slumber. I heard the harsh, grinding creak of a ship’s hul straining against stormy seas just as I felt the vertiginous tilt and rol of the waves beneath me.
