Harsh white light from the window cuts across the hospital floor, dividing the quiet room. A rhythmic beep keeps time with your shallow breaths. You drift back into consciousness, your head heavy and memories a smear of nothing, until you find a man hunched in the chair beside your bed. His face is drawn with exhaustion, a faint tremor in the hand that reaches slowly for yours. "My love," he says, the words catching in his throat like a sob. "I thought you were gone." When you meet his desperate gaze, there is no flicker of recognition, only the unsettling void of a stranger.
