Focus

I woke up with no recollection of where I was or where I came from. My vision was blurred, I could see colors, Then I heard someone say, “Look everyone, she’s waking up.”

I tried to focus my eyes so I could see what was happening The first thing I could see was a flashing light. It was flashing colors, but I couldn’t tell what colors… maybe red… and blue.. My vision was focusing more… I saw faces… faces of people I couldn’t really see. Were they really even there? I couldn’t tell. Where was I…? Who was I? I couldn’t see, but I could feel the warm sand against my chest. Was I sinking? No. I felt someone lift me up. The person had strong arms. I felt the person lift me onto something white and blue. I moved towards the red and blue flashing light… I heard someone crying. really loudly. Then I coughed, something came out of my mouth. I didn’t know what it was. it was red-ish but not like blood. It felt as if I was coughing up ground-up rocks. What had happened to me? Why couldn’t I remember? I heard someone ask another person if they would like to come with me on the ride. Then I tried to say, “The ride to where?”, but only mumbles came out.

I felt like I couldn’t breath I felt my heart pounding inside my chest. Was I dying? I felt us starting to move. I still heard the crying. The person who was crying was on the bus. Was this my mother? My stomach started to hurt. I felt something coming up. That’s when I threw up more. It hurt more this time. Still like ground-up rocks The world was getting darker around me. Did someone turn off the lights? No. I had blacked out.

I woke up and I was in a different surrounding. It was much brighter, almost as if there was something right in my face. I saw something golden in front of me and my first thought was that I was in heaven. Then I thought, “But if I was in heaven, would I feel really be in pain?”

There was no way I was in heaven. Then the light moved. I took a deep breath in happily. I was still alive… I think. I saw someone above me. I think it was the doctor… maybe. I was in a very bright room. I felt really hot. I started screaming. Well, I tried to scream at least, but instead a really high-pitched little noise came out. I felt like I couldn’t breathe again. What was going on with me? I just wanted to know what had happened. No one knew, and apparently no one would ever know...
