Ascension (44 page)

I tried to move toward it, but found that my legs wouldn’t respond. 
That’s strange
, I thought vaguely.  Except I couldn’t say
why
it was strange.  My thoughts were vague, fuzzy even.  They felt like somebody else’s thoughts.  I tried to move my head, to crane my neck around Rob, but it wouldn’t respond, either.  I felt a very distant sort of panic bubble up inside.  It wasn’t
my
panic.  It was someone else’s.  I tried moving my arms.  But, they wouldn’t go anywhere, either.  Focusing all my energy on the hand with the solo cup, I willed it to come up.  It wouldn’t respond.  Time had stopped, for everyone and everything – except my mind.
