Chapter 3 : Broken dream, Broken self

...
"uh..."

I let out a small groan at the feeling of pain in my head. It hurt.

Slowly, I open my eyes and see a white ceiling coming into my view. At first, it bit blurry but over time it become clear.

"Oh!! You're awake."

I hear a voice... a woman's voice... I looked into the source of it and see a woman with a nurse outfit next to me.

"Wait over here, okay? I'll call the doctor."

The woman then left me and went outside the room. And she just mentions 'doctor' isn't she...? so I'm in the hospital, huh? Which mean... I have survived the crash.

"..."

I don't know if I should be happy about it, though... but I guess it's a good thing that I survive...

Yeah... it's a good thing...

...

Anyway, I guess the nurse and the doctor won't come here sooner.

To distract myself, from the pain and loneliness, I then look at the window near me.

"It's cloudy..."

the sky is really leaden with overcast today. It's very dark.

The sun is mostly covered by clouds preventing the sun from reaching into this room. The atmosphere is very gloomy because of that...

Maybe I should turn on the light switch.

"Hmm... where is it... ah! found it..."

I found the light switch. It's also not too far off my bed.

"Ok... I just... need to touch the switch... huuu!! A bit more...!! Agh!! ...I couldn't reach it."

Okay. Maybe if could move my body a little, then maybe I could reach it.

It's hurt. But I just have to forcefully move and hold the pain for a short time. I am sure I could manage to do that.

I drag myself closer to the left side of the bed -where the switch is at. But something unexpected happens. I feel a weird pain in my legs.

I mean, I feel pain in most of my limbs, right now. But other than the legs, the pain I feel is mostly just a rigid movement(stiffness) and loss of energy or something like muscle pain.

Meanwhile, my legs feel itchy and kind of burning. Different from my other limbs.

I try to move my legs... but I can't.

I cannot move my legs and I don't think I feel them moving slightly at all.

"eh...?"

Surprise and worry start to wrap around me. And I unconsciously tremble out of fear. I became nervous...

n-no... I should be calm... I'm just having a simple crash accident, that's all.

w-well, I know that the truck hit my legs directly but the injury shouldn't be that serious. It's just a light injury that would be recovered in enough time.

Trying to deny my thought I say that in my mind. yet I cannot build the courage to check my legs which are covered by the hospital's blanket. To check both of my leg conditions.

because the thought I want to deny couldn't disappear. No matter how many times I hope it's not the truth. No matter how many times I try to deny it. The possibility would still be there.
