Falling…I’m _falling_!
I try and grab onto something, _anything,_ but there’s nothing for me to hold onto. I hit the ground with a thud, coughing as I stand up, stumbling back and extending my arms to steady myself. I pry my eyes open and recoil in horror at what I see. Standing in front of me is my little sister, holding onto her favorite toy, a brown sock monkey that I got her for her birthday. She’s wearing a light blue hospital gown, the one from the lab. Her face is what terrified me. Her lower jaw is horribly mangled, only blood and bone. Her blue eyes look tired and dim as they stare into my dark, obsidian colored pair.
I step back, she steps forward. I look around frantically trying to find menes of escape.
_There!_ I sprint towards the white light beaming from behind the unusualy red trees, my feet spashing through dark puddles. I finally reach the light, my legs sore and my chest aching. _God I wish I had my inhaler_.
I reach out towards the light and instantly I’m thrown down onto the ground, the world twisting and distorting around me. I feel nauseous.
My eyes snap open and I’m brought back to reality. I throw myself over the side of my bed and vomit up whatever’s left of last nights small dinner into the trash can beside my desk.

_ My head hurts, _I think to myself as I grab the Tylenol from my desk, rubbing my eye and stumbling towards the door. I stop my self before exiting my room. I walk back to my desk and grab my bandages. _Can’t forget these. _I wrap one tightly around my left eye, and the other around the arm on the same side and swiftly walk off to the kitchen. It’s about time Hireath interprets this.
