Chapter 35

I pried my eyes open. It felt crusted with dry tears and it hurt as hell, like someone had poured handful of sand to each one of them. It was a drag that it took me a moment to open them just to snap them back shut as soon as I was blinded by the white artificial lights. I turned to my side and curved into a ball- pain was everywhere. I made all the effort anchoring my body to sit up in the squeaky mattress.

It was all white: the ceiling, the floor, the mattress, everything, it shouted danger in my head. Fear shot through my spine, I couldn't be back to that horrible place. It was a spitting image of the infirmary with the exception of walls and beeping machines. 

No.

I pulled the cords attached to my arm and groaned in pain. My muscles were aching ten fold.
