"Stay with me, I won't let you go..."
It's hard to tell what I'm feeling...
I feel my mind moving but not my body...
My eyes are shut, I can't open them nor can I move any part of my body...
I can't hear anything but silence...
What can I dwell on?
What can I tell myself when I'm like this?
What is that sound? It sounds familiar, yet it's new in the black void I seem to be in.
It's high pitched, but it's in short beeps. The sound's fading in slowly as if someone is turning up the volume just for me to hear. As a matter of fact, I can slowly start to feel my body awaken, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. I can feel, which is great, but I feel pain in a couple places. It seems to be a little in my stomach and head, but mostly on my back. It feels like a pain that you'd feel if you've been laying on it the wrong way for a bit too long.
I still can't open my eyes, but if I can just move my-there we go. If I can wiggle my finger just a bit, I am able to move something, that means I'm coming to, but really really slowly.
Now I can move the whole finger and my middle finger on each hand.
Slowly I get better results...
All fingers...
Wrists and toes, but still restricting movement...
What? What's going on? My body stopped recovering for a second...
Wait... My eyelids feel a bit sore, maybe if I just...
My eyes slowly open, but everything is insanely blurry, but I can tell the room I'm in is barely even lit. It's dark but not completely dark. I can't keep my eyes open for long, they seem to dry as soon as I open them. After a few more minutes of slowly moving body parts and exercise my eye lenses, I can mostly make out what's near me, rather than what's further away and I've gotten so far as to move my calves and forearms.
I look to my left to find that my arm is hooked up to an IV and a machine to check my heart rate, you know, the high pitched beeping sound from the "black void" I described earlier?
So I'm at a hospital? Why? What happened to me? I don't remember anything! Oh no!
I'm starting to panic. I've gain control of my body! Finally! I pull the IV out in a rushed state and sit up. I need to get out! I don't need this at all! I sit up to relieve my back pain and hop off the bed, only to collapse into the floor. I want to cry out in pain, but I can't seem to use my voice just yet. Come on arms, don't fail me now...
I start to crawl towards the door that leads to the dark hallway. I try and help myself up with the help of a window sill that would be up to my hip if I were standing upright. My legs struggle, but in time, I am able to stand up with the help from the support of a wall. I slowly make the rest of the stride stumbling and almost falling while trying to open the door with one hand on the wall. Once I open the door, I sense a strange sensation, a bit lightheaded and the pain in my stomach coming back up. Just ignore it. I thought before I found myself using the door frame as support as my upper body hunches over and forces me to vomit onto the floor. Luckily I got the mess away from my path...
Well, at least I won't be stepping in that in my bare feet. It already sucks to be wearing nothing but a hospital gown...
I begin to move my legs towards the way to the exit sign, at least I think that's what that light green sign says at the end of the hallway. C'mon David, just a little bit and I'll be there! Just a few more minutes and I'll be outta here! At least that was the plan before the wall I was using stopped and turned into another hallway, leaving me to hold onto the very end of a corner.
I test out my leg strength by putting my weight on them and letting go of the wall. Nope, still not good but I think I can make it if I launch myself in the direction of my destination. I ready myself by taking a stance, preparing to make the "jump" but as soon as I flex my arms to launch, I hear whistling coming from where I came from, followed by a disgusted grunt from where I came from.
Shit! It's now or I end up back on the bed or somewhere worse depending on my actions before ending up like a helpless elderly man! I get ready again and launch myself, leading me to stumble and fall right in the middle of the hallway. I can't move anymore! No! Please!
I have just enough strength to turn my head to look back to see a flashlight flashing, and a silhouette making its way towards me. There's nothing I can do now... Just have to let it happen now... I find myself slowly losing consciousness as my eyes start to water. I shut them and hear whoever came for me start painting and say something into what I can make out as a radio from hearing a bit of static noise before completely going back into the black void. Oh boy... Here we go again...
Hello darkness my old friend...
