It had only meant to be a quick pitstop to get some water.

On her hands and knees, Mouse stared at the puddle of fresh bile. Tinted pink, the bite on her tongue bled lightly. Her thin arms quivered. Sweat trickled over paled skin, then she heaved in another forceful dry retch. Nothing but a froth of saliva slid past her chapped lips....
