i am still dreaming, the story's undone
Owen had been asleep for five days. It had been five days since he'd decided it was too hard to try anymore and slipped under the water. Five days since he was found just in time to be rushed to the hospital and put on a machine to help him breathe while he slept.
Five days had passed and he woke up to the sounds of the steady beep of a heart monitor and air rushing through the tubes of his oxygen mask. His eyes fluttered open and he looked up at the fuzzy ceiling, feeling his stomach drop when he remembered what he'd tried to do. When he realized that he'd failed and now he had to wake up to the mess.
