Awakening from the unending nightmare.
Head pounding, eyes on fire.
Mouth dry.
Vision blurred. His memory worse.
The blow to the head.
The smell of damp earth.
The memory of a pair of sneakers that seemed so disturbingly familiar.
Reaching out. Cold wire, sharp and unyielding.
He was locked
in.
(my first of five posts in response to a very kind nomination for the “five photos / five stories black and white challenge” from desleyjane and for the “black and white challenge” from albert
(and inspired by a dreadful awakening)
(oh, and as my first nomination, I’d like to invite cardinal guzman to share more of this…)
*shot with nikon d700, edited in aperture 3, analog efex pro 2 double exposure filter and converted to mono with silver ex pro 2, disbelief suspended*
Darn! I guess I can’t nominate you now.

Cool effect on this shot. I’ve already participated in a 5 days, 5 B&W photos challenge. This one’s similar, but a bit different. I like the concept and I’ll accept your challenge, but I doubt that I’ll be able to post anything before May.
