Through hazy eyes, I glanced around the room.
A beeping sound echoed in my ears. It had a mesmerizing tone.
The yellow glow of light reflected on the walls as the sun rose.
I felt numb.
My mind couldn’t recall what had happened to me.
There was no one in the room. I was alone.
A frightening chill crept through my blood.
Daunting thoughts raced through my mind.
There were bruises all over my body.
I ached.
My chest swelled with emotions.
Tears flowed as panic took hold of me.
How did I get here?
And, why was I alone?

My first thought is dementia but there are a number of things that could have put her there. Hoping she finds a warm place and some answers soon.

Well, my thoughts weren’t on dementia but it’s a pretty good twist. It’s more about loneliness and who are lonely and why. I do have an additional write on it but it needs editing and cleaning up. Aahhhh …. time.
Thank you for your wonderful comment. Have a great week … stay safe 😷

Questions indeed, Isadora! A mystery waiting to be solved perhaps?

That’s what I like about writing… you never fully know at the beginning where you’ll be at the end. 🙂 (Well, that’s how I write!)

What a frightening situation for the narrator. The bruises hint at violence.

A hospital room can be very intimating especially if the person has no recollections of how they arrived there. Thanks, GHL for leaving your great comment.

It wasn’t my intention to write it that way.
It just happened. Thank you. Oneta, for enjoying my little story.
