All lights----------------of course! That blinded me for a while at first when I struggle opening my eyes. Bright luminous clear bulbs above made my eyes have difficulty on struggling to see the things I'm about to see. My body was so immobile. I can't feel my body. I can't move. The only thing that was obvious was my labored breathing. I can hear it. I can hear it with the machine wherever it was placed producing a squeaking not so clear sound. A sound that was so alarming.

I tried to calm to know what's really happening.

"You're already awake now!!!" a girl not so young proclaimed.

I can't see exactly her face nor how does she look as my eyes were still in the recovery stage after finding it hard to open. I heard her voice again. I'm sure she's nearer to me this time. "I'm so sorry . . . you should be still asleep, but it's just for a while, sooner . . . or later." she whispered right just to my left ear. I tried even just to smirk. But, before I'm already done doing it, it is starting to feel a not normal tightening on my chest. I began catching my breath in every second that counts. Before my whole body gave up I heard her voice for the last time. "There's a better and safer life you're suit to. You deserve regaining everything in a place that is more appropriate to live for you."

Eyes, shut. Consciousness was gone.
