Next thing I knew, I was flat down on a gurney, strapped down and moving through the hospital halls with the overhead lights flashing in my face as they went by. 6 people in green gowns were hustling me through to Gawd-knows-where, all with masks on their faces and gloves on their hands.
"He's coming to."
"We're almost there."
"Do you think he knows?"
"Here we are."
With a bump and a clang, we went through double-open doors into a room with blazing lights. I could only move my head and shut my eyes. But someone grabbed my head while another strapped it down as well.
Another grabbed my arm and I felt the jab of an IV needle.
My bare feet felt cold until someone else put a heated blanket over me up to my chin, then another sheet covered that.
It looked like they only wanted to deal with my head.
Then a hand covered my head and opened one eye while a light flashed left and right to check dilation. Same with the other eye.
Suddenly, they all moved away.
A grinding noise started and got louder and some sort of heavy object seeming to be moving toward my head. I opened my mouth, but quickly, a rubber stopper was put in place.
Pulse racing, my breathing was rapid in and out my nose and the space on each side of my mouth.
As a shadow crossed my face, a warmth started spreading through my veins and a fog settled in.
The room darkened and then went black.
