His mouth was partially filled with dirt, or what he thought was dirt. His eyes burned from the filth, and his ears were clogged.

The left arm was broken, that much he was sure. Alan could still move his fingers, but sharp pain spiked through them like lightning. Studying his right side, the teenager gasped in pain once more as he realized something was not right. He feared it was dislocated or his collar bone possibly broken due to the location of the pain.
