ascending

****************************************************************************************************

I slowly find myself coming back to consciousness. I could feel the hard surface beneath me and the heat from the sun beating down on me. I can hear the soft melodies coming from the birds in the trees and the whistle of the wind whipping across my face.

I found it hard to get my eyes open, it felt like I've been sleeping for years and I'm finally getting the chance to see the light of day. I eventually got them open to clearly see my surroundings. It took me a while to get them to adjust but when they did I slowly looked around. I was laying directly in the center of a dirt field surrounded by a endless number of trees. I was wearing this all white oversized jumpsuit with the numbers 1738 stitched over my left breast.

I could feel a sharp pain in my left arm as I tried to sit up. I sucked in my breath at how abrupt it was. when I reached for my arm to soothe it with my other hand I immediately felt relief. That was strange. As I felt around my arm I realized I had a really thick lump noticeably jutting out my forearm and I could see a blue light clearly flowing through my veins. It no longer hurt but it definitely rose my curiosity. It wasn't till then that I really noticed the situation I was in.
