Suddenly, her body realized that it wasn’t breathing, and with an involuntary heave, metallic air filled her lungs. The sudden motion drove her into a coughing fit as she automatically rolled onto her elbows and knees to better hack and spew. So severe was the fit that she felt as if she’d vomit, but apparently there was nothing on her stomach to eject.
Once her breathing stabilized, her body realized it was cold. And, finally, as she staggered
