I took deep breaths, but the thalamus only shut down when we sleep. Okay, I will pretend to sleep. I relaxed as much as I could, I could steel feel the pain Jerome kicking me. I relaxed.... It suddenly went dark, my vision is dark. I opened my eyes, I don't feel anything. I'm still getting kicked by Jerome but I don't feel anything.  I tried to move... I can't move a single muscle.  "Hey! I am talking to yo-!" *Thack* My hand acted on its own, catching the incoming kick of Jerome. I started standing up, but I wasn't the one who controled my body. I faced Jerome, my mouth opened on its own. "Hello there"
