TMUW 92: Rest

My eyes adjusted as a bright light greeted me. The familiar scent of medication filled my nose. The sound of machines filled my ears.

I felt like my throat was completely dry. I tried to move but was failed due to a lack of strength. I felt the heaviness in my body. I felt like a wilted vegetable that had been neglected.

I groaned in pain when I tried to move even just a little. The brace around my neck was making it difficult for me to see my condition. I stared at the large clock in front of me for a long time before the door finally sounded, signaling that someone was coming in. I just looked there and waited for someone to enter. It wasn’t long before a nurse appeared. She seemed surprised to see me awake.

"You’re awake, Ms. Aurora," she greeted with a smile. Her calm aura added to the reason why I also felt calm at this very moment.

"I’ll just check your vitals," she said.

I let her move around. I couldn’t even open my mouth because it felt so heavy.
