I opened my eyes and had no idea where I was. “Where am I ?” I asked myself looking around, the walls were painted a warm color but I couldn’t tell which it was. My eyes were still blurry from watching the ceiling fan twirl lazily. A sharp smell of antiseptic hits me and I frown, almost immediately a night singer comes to deliver a melody to me, as I make to raise my hand to chase it away I feel a dull pain on my hand. I look up to find an IV stand connected to my wrist. My heart…
