When you're in the battlefield, survival is all there is. Death is the only great emotion. |Samuel Fuller

                I pushed something off of my chest as I couldn’t breathe.

                I slowly opened my eyes as I looked around the room I was in.

                I grabbed the tubes going into my nose and pulled them out. I looked back at the monitor and saw that it was off.

                I leaned over the bed and throw up whatever was in my stomach.

                I rolled back over as I heard something from out in the hallway.

                I sat up looking at the door when whatever it was just kept moving away from me.

                I looked down at my arm and saw the bandages covering most of my arm.

                I rolled off the bed hitting the cold floor with my feet.

                I went over to my bag that I had with me that night.

                I pushed around inside of it looking for my phone.

                I looked at it as it wouldn’t turn on. I tossed it back into my bag when I saw something on the floor.

                I went around the front of the bed as I saw that it was blood.

                I glanced up at the bathroom door as I pushed it open completely.

                I covered my mouth when I saw the nurse in the bath tub with some of her skin missing.

                I shook my head when I saw that her left leg was gone.

                I stumbled back out of the bathroom when I heard a crash from outside of my room.

                I watched the door as I heard the shuffling from outside the door.

                I pushed myself back to my bed and waited as the noise vanished once more.

                I sat up slowly flinching at the pain in my side.

                I bit down on my lip as I started to change into my clothes that were in my bag.

                I kept my eye on the nurse in the bathroom as I grabbed my bag from the dresser and move out of the room.

                I grabbed the door to my room and pushed it open.

                I looked down at the floor and saw all the blood on the floor. I glanced down the hallway when I saw no one around.

                I pushed the door open as I walked out into the hallway looking around.

                I went over to the nurse’s station.

                I sat down behind the computer but it never started up.

                I flipped through the papers when I heard something down the hallway.

                I glanced up stopping what I was doing.

                I kept going through the papers when I found my papers.
