Read the paragraph from the text. The same side. A pain stabs my left temple and I press my hand against it. Right on the spot where Johanna Mason hit me with a coil
of wire. The memories swirl as I try to sort out what is true and what is false. What series of events led me to be standing in the ruins
of my city? This is hard because the effects of the concussion she gave me haven't completely subsided and my thoughts still have a
tendency to jumble together. Also, the drugs used to control my pain and mood sometimes make me see things. I guess. I'm still not
entirely convinced that I was hallucinating the night the floor of my hospital room transformed into a carpet of writhing snakes.
