DREW
I woke up and I was confused. My eyes felt heavy, like someone had tied stones to my eyelids. My throat was dry. My head hurt. My whole body felt weird, like I hadn’t moved in days. Maybe I hadn’t. I didn’t even know what day it was. I blinked a few times, and everything looked fuzzy at first. Then slowly, the room started to look clearer.
The ceiling was the first thing I saw. It looked familiar. White. Plain. Nothing special. Then I saw the side table. Then the curtain. Then the door.
It was my room.
But something was off.
I tried to sit up, but my arms felt weak. Like jelly. My legs too. I grunted and pushed harder. Slowly, I sat up halfway. My head spun like the room was dancing.
“What the hell…” I whispered.
My voice sounded strange. Low and rough. Like I hadn’t spoken in
