2 Days After:

Red curtains.  The sound of a humidifier.  Birds chirping.  A nightstand with a piece of paper on it.  A vase of red roses, this time fresh.  The smell of mint.  An open red door.  Red.

The woman comes through with a pot of soup.  She tells me to eat.  I try to sit up, but my right arm isn't working.  I look down and I feel a rush of nausea.  My arm is completely gone.  A burning sensation coming from my stomach, up to my throat.  Throw up all over the red carpet.  A broken soup bowl on the ground.  The woman's arms around my head before I can even think.

"Mandy.  Mandy," she says quickly.  I don't struggle.  I just let this strange woman hug me.
