Snippet #2444954

"Bloody murderer." The white hospital walls seemed to shake as Don stood there paralysed, his feet couldn't move and a tearing pain came from his stomach. Sitting on the bed was the woman he had loved the most and had been cared by all his life. Her mouth twisted upwards, her lower lip tucking above her upper one in a grotesque glare. Her long blonde hair fell at her sides like a mess of vines. Fluids welled up inside of his throat as he couldn't look away from the woman. Suddenly she opened her mouth giving off a high pitched shriek that morphed the walls around them. Panicked Don covered his ears as a hole formed beneath him and he fell. Wind whizzed passed him and he struggled to maintain balance, flipping and spinning the dark hole seemed endless.

Thud!

In a blurry vision, he awoke. Fingers curling he heard the soft scratch of the cold wooden ground. As his vision became clear Don found himself half lying on the ground, next to his bed with a blanket covering half of his body as it wrapped around his legs as if as an attempt to save him from his fall.

Pushing himself in an upwards motion he allowed his legs coiled in blanket to fall to the ground seating himself in a cross legged position examining his surroundings.

It was a small room with a simple bed next to a drawer with a single window and a mirror.Recognizing his environment he sluggishly straightened himself. "I wonder how many times I've dreamed that dream." He combed out his straw strands of hair with his fingers with one hand and flung his blanket on to the bed with the other. It was just another simple morning in the Teratogen.

Slipping himself into a loose blouse and matching white pants he exited his room heading to the usual place that he was forced to go to. The place where all the rehab patients got together, a part of the daily routine. Don's feet shifted into the room which smelled like a hospital, irritating his nose.

He took notice of the early bird in the room. "Morning..."yawning he dropped himself into one of the chairs sliding down into it as he waited for the other patients to arrive.
