Origami
Crumple. Crunch. Crumple. The sounds echoed through the empty infirmary.
Empty -- besides me, of course. Had a little argument with steep slope. I lost. But my ankle's healing nicely. Shouldn't keep me down too long. Until then, I'm stuck here.
It's the middle of the night. I should be sleeping. I can't. I'm bored out of my mind. I'm... lonely. Guess I'll have to make my own company.
Crunch. Crumple. I'd crunched the paper enough. I started smoothing it out. Carefully, I formed a neat little being... another... another. Before long, I had my whole little colony of paper people.
"Hello, little ones. My name's Jack."
