Tangle Hold: Space Tales
About this ebook
"Rest. You're all right." That's where he got the idea of ice and spice—from that voice.
"Mmmm," said Jadiver. He tried to raise his hand, but it wouldn't move. It was good advice—to rest; he couldn't do otherwise. "What happened?"he whispered.
"You had an accident. Remember?"
He didn't. It was his mind playing tricks, of course. It couldn't have been pleasant if his memory didn't have access to it.
"Mmmm," he evaded.
"Go to sleep. We'll talk later."
He thought he felt something shoved deep in his flesh, but he may have been wrong. In any event, the light that filtered through his closed eyelids faded away and the external world, of which there wasn't much in the first place, vanished completely.
