"Hey! Can...hear us!?"

So loud.

"Is...brea...thing!? Che...her pulse...!"

Everyone is too loud.

"She's awake! Don't wor...rything will...kay. Are you in pain?"

I can barely understand what the lady that is holding me is saying. I was with my parents. My parents...Where are they? Are they okay? Why is this lady looking at me with such eyes?

Those eyes are afraid. What are they afraid of?

Why is this high pitched ringing in my ears not stopping? It's hurting me so bad!

Are those sirens of police cars? Ambulance? Who are they here for? Me, my parents? I can't find them anywhere, did they already take them? I'm alone with strangers shouting their every word?

Make it stop...It's so loud, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Make it stop!

***

Another nightmare. Another sleepless night because the ringing in my ears wouldn't stop. Another day I have to wear my mask and be okay. I wish it would just stop and let me sleep. I don't even remember when was the last time I had a full-night's rest.
