Everything was black, but I heard this weird beeping sound. Beep Beep Beep, over and over again in perfect rhythm. I opened my eyes and squinted at the brightness of the room and I moaned. I felt achy and stiff all over, like I'd been sleeping for years.
I tried to move my arm, but there was something attached to it restricting my movement. I opened my eyes completely now and lifted my head. There were tubes with blood in them and machines all around me.
"Hospital...hospital," I muttered as I was quickly becoming fully conscious now. I sat up and cringed at the excruciating pain, but ripped the tubes out despite that. The machines got louder, alerting the doctors that I suddenly had no pulse. I didn't care. I just had to get out of there.
