I woke up. Now normaly on a normal day i would wake up. Tired but awake. Today i woke up awake. Last i remembered was walking across the road. The green man was on. I swear. I pressed the button and walked across the road. Some idiot came carearing round the bend and i didnt have time to breath. Just time to stand. And stare. I new what was coming. I couldnt stop it. I just had to wait for it. I had done nothing with my life but waist it away. I was such a failure. A failure who did nothing. Why had i done nothing with my life. why had i done nothing. I mean i thought about doing so much I just had never done anything. I did nothing. It was quite pathetic really. Then darkness. Well a quick blam of pain anyway before. Then darkness. I died i guess. I thought. But here i am. Alive. Why? I blinked and stared at the white cracked ceiling. Broken. Like my soul should be. I widened my eyes and blinked a couple of times. My arms kind of hurt. I looked down to wear it was. It was scared and covered in scratches, with it looking slightly squished.  I guess the car 'incident' wasnt some sort of... false... memory. I lay staring at it for ,i dont know, 2 minutes maybe more? It was just an estimate though. After that i pulled up my strength and sat up. It hurt quite a bit i must say but i could still do it. Rubbing my head i looked around. I was sat in a white room full of beeping machines. Hospital. Had to be. With my memorys and the machines it just ment i had to be in a hospital. I heard a sudden rush of footsteps for a minute before a pair of hands pushed me down. A nurse was frantically checking machines and putting her hand on my head. She looked at me and sighed.

"You young lassie." She said in a broad Scottish accent. "Are a miracle. 6 months you've been asleep. 6 bleeding months! yet her you are. Awake!" She laughed hysterically to herself before smiling and walking off. She came back a minute later. I watched her fiddle with some machines for a bit longer till I shuffled myself up. I swung by legs over the side of the bed and put some pressure on them. It hurt. Quite a bit actually. It hurt quite a lot. The nurse turned and picked up something behind the cabinets. A cane. She handed it to me and smiled. "ye should be fine to walk but he careful and slow. Don't walk to often but I imagine you'll need to do ya business so of we go." I looked up at her soft plump face and smiled. She seemed nice. I glanced at her prolly for a minute before realizing something. This nurse had a number hovering above her head. I raised a weak and and hatred above her head. She jumped in suprise. "Ye seen a fly?" I stared blankly back and pointed at the number. She looked up and stared directly at it. "what ye pointing at?" I just have been hallucinating or something because I began to notice every person I passed in the corridor had one. Some higher some lower. I even spotted. A changing one. I assumed I hit my head a bit harder then I thought.

She left me alone in the bathroom. Something about having my own independence or whatever. I finished up and looked at the mirror. My brown eyes were summed back and dry. My skin was cracked and pale. Lips dry and chapped. But still I was alive. I pressed my hand against the glass and opened my mouth. It was hard to speak any more then a horse whisper but I managed to croak out a comforting "I look great". Not a second later the number floating above my head changed. I hadn't paid much attention to it before but I had spotted it this time. My mind was buzzing all of a sudden with curious ideas about the number. I racked my brain and filed them all down to one option. Staring at my cold dead reflection i spoke yet again. "My name is amy beswick" the number changed again. "I'm wearing a tweed suit" flick. "I'm good at german" flick. I stood there for a good 5 minutes tues talking to myself telling lie after lie to my reflection. The nurse bobbed her head round the door
"Ye done?" I nodded slowly and put a hand out for her to take and lead me back to my bed. Passing through the halls i was people's numbers change u but never down. They only ever changed when the host said certain things. Lies.

That's what the numbers were if you hadn't guessed. Lie counts.
