A shiver of sheer terror traveled the length of his/her alien body, leaving goose flesh in its wake.The last thing that he remembered was going to bed...last night in his own cozy house. He should be laying beside his wife, she curled under his arm.All of that was gone. This wasn't even his house because he didn't even recognize the run down ceiling that he was staring at. As impossible and improbable as it sounded, David had been thrust headlong into the life of another person . . . a woman! . 15 today? Viv's in hospital. She's been beaten up and raped.

Stopping in front of me, he gently cupped my cheek.
