I do not own Hetalia okay? I am hoping to finish this story here soon, so be ready for more updates. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
August 25th 1918
(from the diary of Ivan Braginsky)
What can I do? I got them to the hospital, but the ambulance was destroyed. I'm told a Major Bonnefoy got me to the hospital and apparently I was screaming for the ones at the wreck until the doctor had just told the nurses to put enough morphine in me to knock me unconscious. I still feel a little disconnected and floaty. It's hard to string these sentences together... and it's hot in here. I know it is August but this seems worse than normal. I'm sweaty but still freezing. The past few days I cannot remember much from the accident until now. Images of a few doctors saying things, nurses injecting medicines, probably just morphine, Ernest saying something then Major Bonnefoy giving him a piece of paper before telling me something in his thick French accent. About the only time I have seen him serious, I think.
I fell out of the bed when I rolled over once, being a larger man does not work well with hospital beds. Took 2 nurses to get me back in and one of them, seeming rather despondent saying I should stop trying to get out of bed on my own, don't I know I'm paralyzed? Obviously I did not. Most of the time I am here, I am in a daze because they keep saying things like 'shrapnel' and 'infection' one said 'septicemia' and then the nurse give me another injection of morphine. Can someone tell me what is wrong without pumping me full of drugs? Great, another nurse...
I know I took a break in writing today's entry but this nurse was sympathetic and actually had some mail for me. It's a letter from Fredka and apparently Nikolai wanted to send me something. He drew a picture of him, Fredka swimming with him and Natalya and the twins on the sea shore. Fredka's letter explained what Nikolai drew and he sent some of the shells he found. Well I know that I should be heading back soon, in the condition I am in. Hopefully New York is cooler than it is in this hospital...
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. Get ready for some bittersweet parts for a while. This is set in World War 1 era after all. If you want to learn more about the era, I suggest The Great War with Indy Niedell on Youtube as that is a very informative channel and I use it a lot for references. And All Quiet on the Western Front is what I draw a lot of from for personal perspective. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
