Chapter One

I felt like a brick. A cold hard brick. If I slept for years. I could'nt open my eyes - even though I tried so hard. I rubbed my eyes, and finally I succeeded to open them. I looked around. I couldn't see very clear - where was I? It looked like an hospital room. So white. So clean.

Suddenly I heard coughing. I looked beside me. There was an old man on a bed next to me. He turned his head in my direction. ''Hi, it looks like I'm your new 'neighbour'.'' ''Hi.'' was the only thing I could say. ''Why are you lying here? You seem so young.'' the man asked. ''I-'' ''And what's with your leg?'' the man cut me off. I glanced at my leg. There was a large patch on my leg. I tried to move my leg a bit, but the pain shot through me like crazy. I let my head fall on my pillow and spoke ''Eh, I don't know - actually''. The old man mumbled a few things - I couldn't understand it so I just ignored him.

It fell silent. Then suddenly the door swung open. A man came in with a clipboard in his hands. ''Your awake.'' he said relieved. ''Yes. I think so...'' ''You lay in a coma for four days.'' the man - what seemed to be a doctor - explained. What? A coma? Someone needs to explain to me what happened.
