Cameron Lost excerpt #1
“Help me!”
The room was spinning again.
“Help me! Please!”
Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. As he forced his eyes to stay open, the sliding glass door streaked past, dragging the drab wall behind it. Blinds tilting against centrifugal forces, dashing round. Whoosh.

Grabbing for the rails on his bed, he tried to steady himself and force the ride to a stop through the strength of his will, straining for a brake lever in each clenched fist.
“Why can’t I make this stop?” he asked through gritted teeth as his head leaned into the phantom wind. A few more harrowing moments and he gave in to the uncertainty, closing his eyes again, and the powerful push from the left stopped driving. The darkness allowed him to coast.
“Breathe. Just breathe,” he thought and steadied himself.
