Dark Stories

Story 2: Coma

I was in a terrible car accident three months ago.  I was driving my six year old son to school when a bus pulled out in front of my car without warning. My car crashed into the side of it and my face hit the dashboard. My husband told me our son was fine, since he was wearing his seatbelt. I was sent to the hospital and the doctors declared I was in a coma.

It was dark, and cold, and I couldn't see. But I could detect everything going on around me. I could sense doctors and nurses talking. In my state of mind I was hypventilating  and my body felt so light. It was strange, it felt like I was floating. Up and up....

I could sense something around me and I could hear a doctor say ''Clear'' and I felt electricity run through my body. I then could open my eyes. But I wasn't in the hospital, I was in a pod of some sort. I peered around to see and outside my pod was a room made of marble and iron. 

I was confused. I tried to say ''Hello?'' but my body was enabling me to speak. I was lying down on a table. I have a feeling the pod was made from some slimy latex. I was starting to get scared when I heard an electric door open. I looked outside a little hole in the pod and was horrified.

Strange creatures walked in. They were lizard like  with talons on their hands and feet and had dark green skin. Their faces were more scary, with dark ovel like eyes, two holes for nostrels and sharp teeth. At this point I was starting to panic and tried to get out of the pod. I had the power to scream.

''Quick she's dying! Give me the scalpel we need to get the glass out of her forehead.''

''Her eyes are opening!''

The pod was ripped open. They were holding a strange object. Knife like. They cut off one of my eyelids to examine it. I was screaming. Another one of these creatures put a bear trap like object around my head. It cracked my head open, proceeding to crack the top of my skull. He pulled it out and took a scalpel to examine my brain.

To stop me from screaming one of the creatures gagged me with a handful of slime.

I could only think of what these creatures were... aliens. 

''We're losing her again!''

Another alien took some sort of futuristic saw and cut my chest open to examine human organs. The same alien took a scalpel and carved off another one of my eyelids. I wanted it to be over. And it did end...

''Clear!''

I shot up in my hospital bed screaming.

After a while I told the doctors about what I had experienced in my coma. The doctor replied with ''Your eyes were open but you couldn't react. You must have saw us trying to wake you up and mistook us for some more evil beings.''

I don't know what to believe anymore. Was it real or was it not. I probably just won't know. I'm to remain bedridden for a few weeks since I had broken my left leg. 

But I'm still scared to go back to sleep in case those things are going to be there... waiting...
