Chapter 1 — Just Awoken.
"..."
It’s still dark. It must be early morning so the sun hasn’t risen yet... But... I know this feeling.
Right now, I’m experiencing the frequent sleep paralysis that miraculously hasn’t happened since two days ago.
’Great’.
Even though I’m feeling quite desperate after waking up since the last thing I remember is the big flash of light and smell of gasoline from my destroyed car after a truck knocked it off the road...
... Thinking about it... that flash of light must have been the explosion of my car after the accident...
Just perfect. From what I can remember, it’s not possible that I’m alive. It would have been more than a miracle.
’So... what is this...?’
Glancing through the place, I got accustomed to the dark and thanks to the little light that came from between a curtain, I could barely see little outlines of furniture here and there. From what I could tell... it wasn’t a hospital room.
’I still can’t move... this is taking longer than usual...’
I closed my eyes since it was the only part of my body I could move and concentrated on freeing myself from the paralysis. I tried my usual tricks and after a few minutes, I became able to move my body a bit. As always, I felt heavy but that’s just normal after freeing myself.
I didn’t get up, though.
