It's been one week since I was hospitalized, and tomorrow I am finally being discharged. How did all of this happen? Well, I don't know very well myself, but I will try to tell what I remember.

On the day that I was on the bus I was very sleepy due to the lack of sleep of the night before and obviously, because of that I fell asleep during the bus route. It wouldn't be an inadequate idea, but that is just if the bus gets to destination without any problems... that wasn't the case.

I just remember I woke up because a lot of people started to scream all of a sudden...I almost immediately realized that we were falling down a cliff, the height was...mhhh, I don't really know, I couldn't calculate it at the moment, but anyway, the thing is that we fell down a cliff and I hit my head with one of the seats that were by my side. I think I could have been able to receive less harm from the fall if I had woken up before, but well, what am I going to do now? It is not that big of a deal. I mean, I am almost without a single bruise... I have been here just because of a contusion in my head that could have been problematic if it wasn't treated properly, but now I'm totally back to normal... (Like I used to be before the accident). I have to say that I found rather annoying to be awakened by screams and whimpers, which sources are nothing but fear and desperation. Well, that's something I think most people cannot say since most of the people that were on the bus clearly feared death...I don't, that's why I can say all of that, I don't understand that feeling they call fear or the "to be afraid". I mean, the "worst" thing that could happen is to die and in my opinion, that is just something that sooner or later is going to happen to every person in the world, isn't it? So, why don't end the annoyance that life is a little sooner? Well, after all of this thinking I could even say I would rather be dead. I mean, I would have never found out that I was in an accident if hadn't survived...I would have just disappeared. I mean, If I follow my beliefs that is.

Now it's 22:45 and I just woke up, I think this life in the hospital is not that unpleasant. I mean, food and a bed where to sleep, really, I cannot ask for more... mhhh, anyway, I would like to know where I am, I haven't been visited by anybody so I haven't been able to sort that out and the nurses that assist me come just when I am sleeping, I don't really know why... it might be because I am almost always sleeping, that is probably the case. Well, since I already thought about the accident and probably I am not missing any important details, the only phrase that comes to my mind is "I am alive" followed by a lot of thoughts telling me that is not something that I should be happy about. I mean, it is not like I am unhappy because I ended up alive, mhhh, it's rather a feeling that tells me "Don't worry, if you die now, you won't have to pay the bill after being discharged", mhhh...seeing it from that point of view I could even get to say that I wish I would have died in that "accident", but nah, I don't really yearn to do in this very moment. I mean, I came all the way here just to die? Well, now at least I'm going to do something else...waste money

Mhhh, now that I think of it, all my money is going to be wasted on this trip, I am going to be totally out of cash unless the money that my father left for me effectively ends up in my hands (thing that I don't count on).

(Nurse knocking the door and entering)

"Hi, you are finally awake, how are you feeling?"

Mhhh, I have been one entire week here and it is the first time we have talked... I find it weird.

"Hello, I am feeling normal"

"That's good. Excuse me, can I confirm some information?"

She can confirm anything she wants without my permission, why is she talking about that to me? Well, she might have that doubt, it is not like I am going to negate her my response.
