Checkmate

It's blurry, and dark, The lights are flickering uncontrollably. Wait, these aren't lights powered by electricity or solar power. The light that keeps flashing on my face is the sun day break. I can't see, it's too bright. I raise my right arm and cover my face, trying to prevent the flashing light from blinding me, then I try to let my eyes adjust a little to my surroundings.
