I have never noticed how incredibly dull it is when you can't move at all, not even crunch your toes or fidget, and you are seemingly fully conscious.

Hours seemed to pass, maybe even days before other senses began to come of use to me.

First came smell, possibly the worst one. Those smells that I dreaded. The smells that attacked my senses for the first 8 years of my life.

The smell of bleach and disinfected. The smell then spread to my mouth, enough to make me gag.

This set off an instant reaction that made me realize that all senses had returned to me. My eyes snapped open. Bright whiteness filled my vision. Sight was back.

I moved my fingers. Welcome back touch. I struggled violently but I had been strapped down.

Damn it Max, you've become too predictable I thought to myself, they're expecting you to break out every time now.

I raised my head a little and swept the room. There were two people in there.

My eyes went past the whitecoat casually but froze on the person standing at the end of my bed.

"Hello Max," said Anne.
