My head is throbbing. Actually scratch that. My entire body is in pain. I try opening my eyes but I

can’t. It felt like they were weighed down by stones I try calling out to Noah, to anyone, but no

I try opening my eyes again but with the lights accosting them it’s nearly impossible.

won’t be a problem”

True to her words, when I open my eyes, curtains are closed and the light are turned low. I turn to

the woman who seems to be in her late thirties. She’s wearing a nurse uniform and a quick survey

of the room makes me conclude that I’m in a hospital.
