The first thing I realized was that I was lying on something very soft, so soft it could've been a cloud. I was warm. There was a heaviness that was pulling on me, trying to drag me back down into the dark tunnel of nothingness that I had just left behind, but I fought it. Something was telling me that I didn't want to be in the dark anymore.
I wanted to open my eyes, yearning to see the light, but my eyelids were too heavy, and try as I might I could not open them. I tried to remember where I was but my mind wouldn't form coherent thought. I merely breathed, my mind and body simply too exhausted to feel scared.
There was a faint rustling coming from beside me and I could hear a low, repeated beeping. The noise was rhythmic and soothing. Before I knew it I was fading away again, the fight in me was gone, and I was falling deep into the tunnel of darkness once more.
