Tris' POV

My surroundings are faded. Dull is what some might call it. I can barley sense anything. I can't even tell where I am or if I'm cold. Everything is plaster-pale. I can't stand it, but I just can't shake the image away from my clouded brain. I wonder if this is how someone feels when they're drunk.

I hear crying of younger and older, yet can't comprehend who is who. I don't remember what sent me into this bright vision but whatever it is, I hate it with a burning passion.

I strive to focus on everything in the room, to make sense of it all. Soon the sound of monitors come into the image. So either a bomb or I'm in the hospital. But I know that I'm in the hospital. You don't freaking cry when there's a bomb, you scream, "Get me the hell out of here!" in pure fear. I love the idea of that.

It would be a great tv show really. Why I'm thinking this, I have no idea. It's something maybe Uriah would think. The little bastard made me dumb!


I feel something warm in my hand and then something moist and small splatter in my palm. There are only four people that it could be: Tobias, Caleb, Mom, or Dad.


The fingers are long and narrow so it must be Tobias. I want to be conscious and leap into his strong arms but this world isn't a wish-granting factory. No world is.
