The darkness lasted a few more moments. In that amount of time, I was somewhere between a dream state and reality. I saw Chris' face float through the blackness but it wasn't totally clear. I realized that I was somehow floating away, or was it falling? My stomach churned slightly as I tried to figure out what was going on. Was this some sort of dream? I couldn't even remember where I had been just a few moments earlier.
Suddenly, I was no longer moving through space. It was still dark, but I had stopped and I could hear faint murmurs in the distance, nearing me.
Should I try to open my eyes? I debated with myself a few moments, wondering if it was safe. I couldn't remember anything from before hand, and I was still unsure of how real the whole situation was.
I slowly let my eyelids flutter open, taking in small patches of light. The first thing I saw was other people, people all around me, whispering to each other. They sat in chairs and leaned against walls. Some slept and some looked worried, chewing on their fingernails. One woman was twisting the ends of her hair nervously.
I noticed that I was in a chair as well, in a room among these humans, but I had no idea what for.
I looked around, with a new curiosity, hoping to pick up clues. Beyond the small room I was in, was a desk. It was large and tall, almost completely hiding the woman that sat behind it. I could tell though that behind the desk stood other women as well. They were standing, wearing all matching clothes. I recognized them to be scrubs.
That was when I got the hint, the only hint I needed to make me realize exactly where I was. I was in the midst of a bustling hospital, surrounded by nurses and worried, nervous people. But why was I here? I couldn't remember anything past the last few minutes of my arrival.
I continued scanning my surroundings, when I spotted a young nurse looking at me. Her face was pale and she wore a frown. She started to walk towards me, and my heart skipped two beats. I remained seated though as I heard only the clicking of her heels on the hospital floor.
"Mrs. Chambers?" The woman questioned.
Chambers? The name sounded familiar but I didn't know why she was calling me by it.
I nodded quickly, without putting much thought into it.
The young nurse looked down at me, and I swore I could see a tear running down her cheek, "I have some bad news. It's about your husband, Christopher."
I swear I felt my heart stop.
