Goodbye, Reddened Metal Road

I heard the sound of someone groaning as the thudding sound of stomping on what seemed like mud resounded on the still darkened room. When I regained my senses, the room was already lit up once more with the lights on the side.

I looked around me and saw that something odd is happening. The nurse looked at the direction of the pendulums while covering her lips with her hands tightly as her eyes started to be flooded with tears. Beside her, the policeman held her shoulders tightly as he scowled at whatever was happening around the pendulums. Meanwhile, on my other side, the salesman started to whisper at me, but I can't really hear what he's saying because of the loud ringing in my head. I then stood up gently with the help of the salesman, and only then did I see what exactly happened.
