That was all I saw, heard, felt, thought of. Everything went black as soon as I saw those rifts, I heard a loud crashing noise afterwards. And that was it. I must have been knocked out......
I hear a noise, a beeping noise. Its coming from my left, what is it? My mind searches for the answer, its a machine for monitoring your pulse....
I hear a female voice near me, its faint but....
"My God, Doctor he's waking up. He's rousing." it shouts.
That only makes me wake up more, was I out? My eyes bolt open, I quickly shut them however as the lights above blind me. I shake my head from side to side to wake up faster. Before long I'm able to adjust my eyes to where I can wake up properly. A man who I presume to be a Doctor walks up to me.
"Mr Carlson? Glad to see that you are back amongst us. You were almost across the brink sir." he says to me, checking me over.
"W-Wha?" I can only babble out, I feel like I've not spoken in so long.....I need to get used to it.
"Please do not try to exert yourself. We shall bring you up to speed." the Doctor says.
Its at this point I hear another voice from outside the room, its familiar.....
"Carlson? Let me in, I need to see him." Chon.....He's there.
The blind man rushed in, probably shoving a nurse out the way to see me. His mouth drops seeing me, I must look like shit after what happened.....
Wait......
"What happened?" I mutter out.
The Doctor sighs. "You will need to prepare yourself sir. I'm afraid you've been in a coma, the opening of your world to our sent debris out. You were hit by some and it put you out."
A coma? Was I really out? "H-how long ago was it?" I'm afraid, I'm not to normally be scared. But I can't help but show my fear in my voice.
"About one year sir." The Doctor says softly. I start to shake, my body and its feelings are coming back. But my left arm feels odd.....
I look down, its a stump. Half the length it used to be.....
I start panting rapidly, my pulse machine beeping erratically. At this the Doctor quickly says "Nurse sedate the patient at once, Mr Chon you must depart." I keep shaking about, gazing at the stump. How? Why? What? The needle goes in, a second later my breathing soothes. I roll my eyes up in my head and let sleep overtake me........
