Line 1:
Henry stepped out onto the pavement of the road, looking down the length of sweltering blacktop. The cracked and broken pavement shifted under his foot, and for a second he thought he might fall, cut down by the hot sun and the lack of water. But he only swayed from side to side, then took another step. He crossed the road slowly, making sure to keep his center of balance straight, because he knew if he fell, he would not rise again. The sun beat down on him, and not a cloud in the sky offered him shade or rest. To Henry's tired, bloodshot eyes, the sky appeared a deep shade of orange, or maybe maroon. It was so hard to tell when it kept changing.

He saw himself in his apartment, the very first night it had started. He had been sleeping, and had been awoken by a tremendous blow to the head. His eyes had snapped wide open, unseeing but striving to identify the source of the blow. He had fallen he remembered, out of his bed and onto the floor, where the vicious blows had continued. He had looked up and seen the pale blue thing and panicked. He tried to run, but his feet got caught in the blanket. The blows continued unabated.
His back and head, already aching, he had finally got his feet under him and ran. He looked back at the thing, and it seemed to grin at him as it slowly followed. Its head tilted to the side, like a small child would when questioning something. He had slammed into the front door and ran,
Now the memories shifted faster. All he saw was the slow misery he had endured for five more weeks.
With a shudder, he came out of his trance-like coma. The thing stood over him, raising its weapon for another strike. He clenched his eyes shut, and awaited the final blow. It didn't come for another 3 days.
