After some more struggle, the headboard gave up and his hand was freed with a large chunk of headboard along with it. His wrist was throbbing now. It was not easy to break a headborard, as it seemed. After he stopped panting, he took a few deep breaths, and he pulled his other hand as well and freed himself after a while. He turned on the bedside lamp and saw the room. It was a pretty one.
