Beep... Beep.... Beep... The sound calls through my hazy consciousness. Beep... Beep... I blink open my eyes and stretch.
A tearing pain in my side. The intensity of it almost makes me cry out.
Beep... Beep... Beep...
Where am I? I look around. Hospital. It must be a hospital. Why else would there be a heart rate monitor? Why am I in a hospital? Why do I need a heart rate monitor? Who am I?

My name is Harper. I was in a car crash. My boyfriend, Ringo (His parents are Beetles fanatics) was with me. So were my best friends, Miriam and Priscilla.
I like art. Wait - more specifically, I like painting. Ironically, my latest piece was of broken glass.
