I walked into the doors of the huge building and was immediately hit by a sharp,  antiseptic smell. My legs couldn't bear my weight much longer so I collapsed.  Nurses came rushing over to gingerly lift me up onto a stretcher,  then promptly roll me away. I could see my mom,  her tears hidden. I can't believe the pain I have caused her. A hospital band is slapped and tied to my wrist,  then another,  after this, I'm escorted away in a wheelchair by a nurse who brings me into a room and closes the door,  she hands me a hospital gown and tells me to get into it. She's a nurse so I'm not uncomfortable with stripping my clothes off and placing the gown on.  The fabric is soothing against my sweaty skin. She then hands me a pair of blue socks,  I put them on,  expecting them to be more comfortable. She rolls me in a wheelchair down the hall,  I can see people looking at me with pity. This is the wing where people who have minor injuries go. My problem is far deeper.  I feel a lump in my throat and think I'm gonna cry, but I don't.  I puke and then the world seems to fade away and fall into a deep pit of darkness.
