Interesting style. I don't understand why the stutter is only at the beginning of the first few sentences, especially the "m-my senses are so disoriented...." It would make more sense to have the stutter in other parts of the sentences too. Also, be careful with "sent," "sense," and "scent." Interesting beginning and I'd like to read more.

Interesting beginning, my main turn off was all the "..." I know what you were going for, believe me, I do it too, but you need to actually stop for a sentence every now and then. What I see when I see that is a very long sentence. With this you might also want (your choice) to put in more details. For example what is the person doing while they are saying/thinking this? Just details to pull the reader in even more. But not bad, rather intriguing.

I agree with both of them! Really good beginning and that's always the hardest part, starting something. Great work!! I'm looking forward to reading more^^
