Headaches & Hazbins: Book 1: New Kind of Life, New Kind of Hell

Chapter 12: Herr Doktor

Asher: WAIT!!!

[Asher jolts awake on a bed. He looks to be in some sort of panic as he is heavily sweating and breathing profusely.]

Asher: (Breathing Heavily) What... What the fuck just happened...?

[He starts looking around the room he is in. There are some windows to his right with a bit of light shining through, a wardrobe, dresser, mirror, desk and chair, a large bed Asher is lying on, and a clothing chest at the foot of the bed. It looks like a bedroom. But it's not Asher's bedroom. It is a bedroom. Just not Asher's. The size of the room is rather large and looks like it was made to house multiple people, however, it only seems to have one bed in it. The bed Asher is in seems to be a king-sized bed. Considerably large one person. There are a few pillows on the headboards on both sides of the bed. Asher is on the right side of the bed covered up by a large blanket. Asher's panicked expression changes to one of confusion when he sees his surroundings.]

Asher: Whaaaaaat- theeeeee- hellllllllll-?

[Asher looks around the room more and more. Each time he looks around he seems to get more confused and more confused. He then looks to his right towards the windows. The curtains to the windows are closed but seem to have a fair amount of yellowish/golden light seeping through them. Asher raises a hand to cover his eyes a bit so he can see the light more clearly.]

Asher: Is that... Sunlight? Huh?

[He then notices something odd about the room. Correction, it's more of something about himself that he finds odd. He lowers his hand and takes a good look at them.]

Asher: What the fuck?

[Asher looks closely at both of his hands. They look... Normal... As in human normal. His hands are peach-colored with no marks or damage. He looks completely bewildered by the appearance of his hands. He then quickly places his hands on top of his head feeling around for something. Nothing. Just his black hair. Then he reaches for his behind expecting to find something there as well. Nope. Nothing there. Asher lies on the bed completely confused. He then slowly looks down at himself and the blankets covering him. Asher grabs onto the edge of the blanket and pulls it down so he can see the rest of his body. Most of his stomach and part of his upper chest are wrapped in bandages. However, the bandages wrapped around the left side of his stomach seem more recent than the rest. Then there's the fact that his skin is the same color as his hands. Asher looks completely bewildered. He then looks back at his hands in disbelief.]

Asher: I... I'm... Human...

[He looks across from himself in the room and stares blankly at the wall.]

Asher: And... I'm back in my bedroom... It was all... Just a dream... Huh...

[He then looks at the wall annoyed.]

Asher: Wow. What the hell did I do to deserve that kind of treatment?

[He then looks like he thinks to himself for a short second.]

Asher: Oh. Right. *Chuckles*

[Asher places his hands on his neck and seems to message it. He lets out a satisfied yawn.]

Asher: *Yawn* Fuck me... That was probably the worst dream I've ever had.

[He then puts his hands together and reaches upwards to stretch. But as soon as he does he drops his hands down in pain.]

Asher: OW! Fuck!

[The pain was coming from his back. He looks behind himself to see what caused it. His back is covered up in bandages, a majority of them are wrapped entirely around his back but there seems to be more wrapped from the upper right part of his back to the bottom left part of his back. Asher stares at the bandages for a few seconds before looking back forward.]
