A drop of water splattered on his face, and another. Soon he felt several drops of water hitting his face at once; he started to gain consciousness. Not long after the water poured down on top of him, and he tried to move his body. It screamed in response, still aching. Muller opened his eyes daring to see where he was, but couldn’t make anything out, his vision blurry. He blinked a couple of times, clearing his eyes slowly, but was greeted with another pain, a migraine.

His entire body revolted in him moving, or for that matter, existing. Forcing himself to roll over and shield his face from the water, he pushed with all the might he could muster. Muller made it halfway before giving up, the pain overwhelming him. He fell back, and water began pouring into his face again, each drop transporting him back to reality. He felt like he was drowning in the torrents of water landing on his face.

A few seconds later he was reminded where the water was coming from as a loud deep boom, shook the ground where he lay. It was raining; the storm had arrived while he was knocked out. A bright flash lit up the sky above him, bringing him fully back into the real world. His vision was clear now, and his body still aching, and head still pounding, he had fully come back to actuality. Muller had a flood of flashes as he remembered the roof giving out, and falling, seeing a beam coming towards him, and then blackness.

Muller had been knocked unconscious and had finally snapped back. He rolled over, entirely fighting the pain this time and was now on his side, away from the rain. He lay on the pile of rubble that was once a roof, gasping for breath. His eyes adjusted to the darkness of the half caved-in room before him. He forced his muscles to sit up, and he leaned against the wall.

Muller blinked his eyes, trying in vain to get his painful migraine to go away. He knew that he would have to take some pain medicine for it to go away, so he reached for his pack, fishing out a small packet of pain pills. Muller opened his mouth and shoved them in; they had a chalky, gritty taste to them as he swallowed them dry. He closed his eyes for a few more minutes hoping it would help the pain go away.

After a few minutes, he could start to feel the aches and pains subside slowly, becoming a dull throb rather than a constant searing pain. Now that he could think clearly, Muller opened his eyes, allowing them to focus on his surroundings. A familiar silhouette grabbed his attention, and he looked carefully. Muller got up and walked towards it, still unable to make it out. He felt the rain again as he approached, and a lightning flash lit up where he was looking. It was the older scientist.

The poor old scientist had fallen too when the roof collapsed, but unlike Muller, he was not so lucky.
