I opened my eyes to a blur of colours. Mom was shouting from somewhere nearby. Dad sounded a good deal calmer than her, telling her gently that I had opened my eyes. He helped me sit up and asked me if I felt alright.592Please respect copyright.PENANABNHm0yWlRb

“I…I…” I muttered, trying to force my voice out of my mouth. “I…”592Please respect copyright.PENANARUFiq8sqnl

“She needs a doctor Tony. I’m scared. How could she have collapsed like that…” My mother cried. I felt her gentle hands on my forehead. “Do you have a headache, dear? Do you feel light-headed?”592Please respect copyright.PENANAfNzTEL9XB7

“I…” I shook my head. The strange palette of colours in front of my eyes assumed solid shapes and forms. I felt the softness of my bed underneath me and recognized the familiar curtains on the window opposite it.592Please respect copyright.PENANAtTHZIMLTDe

“Amy… What happened?” Dad asked, anxiously. He was sitting on the bed, holding my hand. “Should I call a doctor here? Or are you feeling good enough to go to a hospital?”592Please respect copyright.PENANA7vLk0YrARV

“Dad…” I tried to get up. But a wave of exhaustion hit me so suddenly that I fell back down. I heard my alarmed mother scream. I felt her hold me and tuck me under a blanket.592Please respect copyright.PENANAlJUwO3Kwj2

I looked into my Dad’s eyes as he leaned over me. Suddenly I could see a woman. A beautiful woman with long black hair. She was talking. I couldn’t hear what but her eyes were very sad. Then another image. Dad was standing alone in a hospital corridor, holding a baby in his arms. It was crying…592Please respect copyright.PENANAbin93Jxmth

“We couldn’t do anything.” Someone said.592Please respect copyright.PENANAZoGvBN6Eer

My head pounded with pain. What was I…Why? I moaned and turned over, cupping my face in my hands. Tears squeezed out my closed eyes. The woman was in front of me again. She looked like a corpse now, with a pale face and disheveled hair. Tears were pouring down her cheeks.592Please respect copyright.PENANAzo5KGW3hcs

“Help me…” She wailed.592Please respect copyright.PENANAsVytGK8yfj
