I zipped up into the sky. I couldn’t even scream. I rose faster and faster. I felt the wind—no, not the wind, it was some kind of external pressure from the light—press against me as I flew impossibly high until…
Nothing.
Had I been abducted by aliens?
Then I woke up here.
But where was “here?”
I took a few more steadying breaths before I opened my eyes and peered around at the room.
Every surface was pure white. The walls and the bedsheets and the tables and chairs and the little square that must lead to the bathroom.
I smiled with relief.
I was in a hospital. What other room was decorated like this?
I fell back on the cool sheets and shook my head. For a moment, I thought I’d lost my mind.
We must have flown over the cliff and descended into the ravine below. We must have landed well or I wouldn’t still be alive.
And all that stuff with the bright white light?
It would turn out to be the bright lights of the hospital roof as I was wheeled along on a gurney.
And the stuff floating around?
Drugs. Sometimes they had a hallucinatory side effect.
Yes. That’s all it was.
Abducted by aliens.
Ha!
The girls would have a good laugh about that when I told them!
The girls.
I shot up. Where were they?
If I was in the hospital, there was a good chance they would be knocking around there somewhere too.
I tossed the blankets aside and threw my legs over the side of the bed. I placed my feet on the cold tiles and wiggled my toes. I still had control of my legs. That was good.
I performed the same action with my fingers. Full marks there, too.
If I was being wheeled along on a gurney, I might have had an operation…
But on what?
I ran my hands over my body but felt nothing. No pain, no raised ridges where the stitches would be. I checked my head and it wasn’t shaved.
Then I noticed my nightgown.
Except, it wasn’t a nightgown.
“What the hell is this?” I said out loud.
