Corrida
by Roger Zelazny
He awoke to an ultrasonic wailing. It was a thing that
tortured his eardrums while remaining just beyond the
threshold of the audible.
He scrambled to his feet in the darkness.
He bumped against the walls several times. Dully, he
realized that his arms were sore, as though many
needles had entered there.
sorry but I hope the context is usefull
thanks
