Laying there paralyzed and weak. My broken body seemed to crawl with unlimited pain. Shattered mirror pieces lay like me across the floor. Desperation led me to lift out my pale weak shaking arm filled with fear to see what stood behind me. Hesitantly, unsteadily, slowly holding up the broken mirror piece above my dieing body. That’s when I remembered the tragedy my brain had so desperately forgotten. That’s when it all came to an end.
Blackness filling my vision. Ever so noisy sounds filling my ears. Reeking taste torturing my tongue. Throat feeling like it had suffered a million years without drinking. And an indescribable dizziness swelling like a hurricane in my mind. “What is this?”… My voice weakly crooked. What sounded like a surprised muffled voice mumbled something quickly and loudly. Sudden sounds of shuffling surrounded where I lay propped up. I felt a hand gently grab mine and a clearer mumble seem to address me. “Miss cross?...Miss cross?...”it said. “Is that me?” I crooked. The hands grip on mine weakened as if it was disappointed. Suddenly slowly yet surely my vision started accepting light and colour until after a few seconds I could see.
I was in a private hospital room. The awful noises were from beeping and humming machines that surrounded me. Dim colours clinically hugged the walls. There were windows in the room but they didn’t seem to be to outside. I couldn’t tell since they had blinds tightly covering them. Four men and one woman were standing at the end of my tightly made bed. “I-“
“Please save your breath Miss Cross-“one of the men quickly cut in. “you’ve been in a coma for some time now.”
“What happened to me?” Blank looks came over their faces and they looked at each other with concerned looks. One man took out some charts from a folder he had in his hands and pointed out something to the others on it. The first man took it and sighed. “Miss cross I’m afraid you’ve suffered major injuries that have caused you to also have some serious memory loss. And because of this injury if we inform you of what happened and your memories all come back at once it could cause your brain to lets say ‘overload’ and as a result…Stop your heart beating.”… A sickening feeling made all my organs sink deep into my body as the toxic panic made my stomach acids ache. In my panic I desperately tried to get out of the bed and stand.
“W-wait what? No, no you have to tell me what the hells going on!” My body was so weak and heavy. I tried to stand but my legs had no balance or feeling and I fell into the arms of the nurse. Despair sunk in and I was becoming even more distressed as the nurse and one of the doctors forced me back onto the bed. I screeched out “Please! Why am I here? I don’t understand! Tell m-“The nurse pressed a gas mask over my face to calm me down. But I was desperate. As I was falling sleepy and my eyelids becoming heavy I still managed to murmur “Please…I-I’m so…confused.” The darkness returned.
