Silence. Nothing but quiet beeping.

Everything feels thick. And it's black. Why can't I see? I try to open my eyes. But I can't feel anything.

I feel pinching in my arms, wrists, and in the back of my hand. What is it?

And

Down

Up

And

Down.

I try to lift my head. But nothing happens. Or does it? I cannot tell.

I am unable. I can't even lift my finger. I try to move but I just can't. It's like I have no control over my body.
