Chapter 9: A voice from the past.
It was the first time I was able to be around other patients. Their heads were all shaved and their hospital clothes hung on their bone frame. Today was full of firsts.
I stood dead center in the middle of the room. It looked like an old theatre. There was about 100 people cramped into this room, all of them sat in clusters all around the room. Well All but one.

I didn't say anything. Her words didn't make since.

"What...Who are you" I exclaimed.
