Chapter 27 Waking Up

• My body is shaking. Is there something wrong? Am I having a seizure? “Doc?! Are you okay?!” I struggle to open my eyes, feeling them to be encrusted. The shaking continues, and I’m not sure how to get it to stop.
• I start to twist and turn, my body aching with each movement. I feel like I’ve been beaten up many times over, and I’m just hurting. I don’t think there are any amount of pain pills that would be able to take this pain away. “DOOOOOCCCCC!!!!! Goddess, please wake up!” I start to moan; my throat’s so dry and scratchy.
• “Mmmm….mmmmm….mmmmmm…..” Fuck, this is crazy. I start to breathe in deeply, hoping I can get myself up. I don’t know why this is so hard. I just came here and laid down, so it shouldn’t be this hard. How long have I been here? Did I actually die at some point? I take a deep breath and pull at my eyelids, willing them to open. A beam of light hits my eye, and it’s fucking bright. I close them back and try to open them again, hoping they open wider this time. I can feel the crust pulling at my lashes, but I don’t care. I continue to open and close my eyes, seeing more and more, and I go.
