I open my eyes to bright lights and blank, cold, lifeless walls. As I turn my head I notice the IV in my arm. The slow, steady drip of the medication reminds me of a river. No. More like a mountain stream, alive in the spring, given life by the melting snow. Yet in the summer it is dead, just like I almost was. Then I feel confused, where am I? The nurse walks in and tells me I’ve been here for a week now. It doesn’t feel that way. I feel as if I have just woken up and had to ask where I am and why I am here.

But this time I remember everything and I am worried. Worried for Hope and the ruins. I am also suspicious of Morgan and the doctors. As I try to sit up I realize that I cannot. There is a restraint on my waist. I lay back down and a doctor walks in. I try to move away from her but I can't. She asks me how I feel. I ignore her. She then smiles and shakes her head. She says I will regret not answering and injects something into my arm. It hurts. Then, I once again
