"Ugh," a groan was the first thing I heard. It was my voice, so it was probably me.
My body was heavy.
Heavy with exhaustion.
I tried to rise, but I couldn't…
…I tried again, but it was futile.
Something…
Something was holding me back.
'What the heck?'
Am I dead?
Fuck!
No, no, not after everything!
"Ugh," I groaned again, but this time, I felt something cold on my lips.
No.
Something liquid pouring into my mouth.
"Ugh," I groaned again, but suddenly the intense pain I felt began to fade away slowly.
I could feel it.
I was regaining strength.
"Huh?" My eyes opened, and directly above was a bright light.
'What?'
Is that a bulb?
I tried to see it clearly, but my vision was still the same.
Hazy.
I then tried to move, but…
…I couldn't. Something was still holding me back.
"It seems you're awake," I heard, then tilted my neck to the side.
