Awakening

Summary

• The protagonist, Nora Seed, experiences a painful revival back to life at exactly one minute and twenty-seven seconds after midnight, leaving her violently sick and hardly functioning.
• She fights to get out of bed and tries to pick up her phone, but is too weak and the phone falls out of sight.
• Nora stumbles through her home, which feels as if it is tilting, and manages to unlock and open the front door.
• Even though no one appears to be around, she staggers towards her neighbor, Mr Banerjee's house, and rings his doorbell.
• She admits to Mr Banerjee that she's done something very foolish and asks him to call an ambulance, which he agrees to do immediately.
• She lasts until 00:03:48, then surrenders to her weakness and collapses onto Mr Banerjee's doormat.
