Cold sweat

I awoke abruptly, 
it took me a few seconds to get my bearings,
I was in bed
and had no recollection of how I got there,
my clothes were neatly folded on the chair, 
I usually just throw them into a pile on the floor,
next to the laundry basket 
then sort them out in the morning. 
I was shivering, 
pyjama bottoms were stuck to my legs,
the smell was terrible, 
I had broken into a cold sweat, 
my bedsheets stank of death, 
I do not know what has just happened 
but it must have been horrific, 
heartbeats thunder through my eardrums, 
almost shaking me to the core,
this was certainly no usual situation ,
I was looking for flashbacks
but none would come;
so I used my imagination to work out what had occurred,
it chilled me to the bone,
no wonder I woke in a cold sweat.

Man, that sounds like a horrible experience, Barry!
Some people would be scarred for life after seeing something like you saw.
I think you went about dealing with your experience in the proper way by sharing it through writing, however.
It always helps me.
Best of luck!
