The sound of machine beeps and air conditioning exhausts woke him up. He dreamed of happier times when he was young, and his parents were alive. When he met a brown-eyed pretty girl for the first time. He was so struck by her beauty that he decided he would marry her when they grew up.

The blinding white ceiling, the bleak, pale wallpaper, and the suffocating odor of disinfectant filled his senses.
