I open my eyes, and squint as large blinding lights stare back at me. I can feel them burning the back of my skull.
I blink a few times and try to peer around. My head feels too heavy to move, so I lie back on my pillow.
Wait, pillow?
I'm definitely lying on something soft. My hair is sprawled about my face, and there's something thick lying over me. A blanket?
There's a noise. High-pitched and screechy. It sounds like... wheels? Wheels pushing on a floor. Something else. A door, opening.
Voices.
Yelling.
Beeping.
It's all giving me a headache. Actually I can't tell if it's starting now or if I just now realised it was there. Anyway, it hurts like hell.
My brain is foggy, and it takes a while to put together the pieces.
Blanket.
Wheels.
Voices.
Beeping.
I'm in a hospital. I'm on a stretcher, of course. I try a bit harder, and grab some memories.
Water. Waves are coming at me from all sides. I'm walking towards something. Away from something? I don't know. There's something beneath my feet. Something soft. Sand. I was walking into the ocean!
If I had the energy I'd curse. Why me? Why was I found? I travelled far, away from the city and into the beach. That journey took at least three hours. Who found me? How long was I under? Has anyone even noticed I left?
Another door opens. I'm pushed through. More voices. I pass out.
