"I couldn't speak at all. It was very frightening because inside your head, you're like trapped inside your head," she said "I'm just in a nightmare because this is really strange, but the look on Martien's face is telling me I wasn't in a nightmare." "She had this really blank stare still on her face and I just didn't have any idea of what was going on," he said.
