A Peaceful Slumber
Waking up I felt odd. It was dark.
It must still be night.
I feel light-headed and nauseous.
Maybe a glass of water will help. Wait a minute. Why can't I move? It feels impossible. I don't understand...
Suddenly a voice started talking somewhere near me. It's close but I can't figure out what it's saying.
Why can't I hear what it is saying?
It feels really close, right next to me, almost on my shoulder. Wait. There is something on my shoulder.
Something touching me.
What is it? Why can't I take a look?
There is another voice now, somewhere in the room, I'm guessing.
I can't feel my body. What is happening to me?
The voices are clearer now. I can make out some of the words.
"... small chance... terribly sorry... can't do..."
What are they talking about?...
