I don't know where I am, I look around at the doughnut shaped opening becoming closer. I squirm to look around at what's around me and to get a closer listen to the repetitive tapping I hear to my left side. There are little wires attached all over my chest and I'm shirtless with no clue where I am.
"Please stay still as possible, Alex."
I hear right in my ear.
"Where did that come from?" I think to myself.
"You're doing great Alex, just a few more minutes."
They lied. I layed there for another 20 minutes it felt like, when the machine started moving again I was exiting the doughnut. Tall people with white lab coats came and wheeled me into another room.
"You did wonderful Alex, I'll be right back with the results."
It took me two minutes to find out where I was, I was in the hospital. But why? I kept wondering to myself.
The doctor comes back in just as I am about to fall asleep.
"The tests came back ok, apparently there is nothing wrong with you."
"What? What do you mean, why am I here?" I asked almost choking on my voice.
"You came in this morning saying you think something is wrong with you, you can't sleep, ever and you said you have- he looks back at the clipboard, nightmares so real you feel like your dying" he reads off almost mockingly.
"And nothing is wrong?" I ask becoming angry and impatient with him.
"No. Nothing is wrong Alex."
"Then why the hell cant I sleep? Why the hell do my nightmares feel like they are actually happening?"...Why- he cuts me off mid sentence
"We aren't sure why you can't sleep, however we think you should talk to a counselor of some sort." He says with enthusiasm as if it's a good thing.
Great, a counselor. How much worse can it get?
