The Mute Girl

I am starting to wake. I can feel the bright lights shine upon my shut eyelids. It feels like I've slept for years as I struggle to open my eyes. I take in the view around me and see that I am in a brightly lit white room. I look down and notice both my legs and arms are strapped to the bed. I struggle against the restraints as I hear footsteps coming to the door. Where am I?! I scream but nothing seems to come out of my mouth. I try to scream once more but I was met with another inaudible sound. I saw the knob turn on the door and turned to look at the woman who had opened it. A tall, thin woman in her late 40s opened the door wearing a lab coat. She comes in and smiles at me holding a clipboard. The woman speaks, "So you're finally awake."
