Jessie laid down on the bed. The mattress was hard and the sheets were too thin to keep him warm from the cold night air. His body shook for warmth under the sheets. Oh he thought as he moved to close the still open window next to him. The window shut, the room was warmer now, warm enough to rest comfortably. Jessie drifted into sleep away from the stresses of the world.
The white light was blinding. Jessie held his hand up to his eyes so he can get a better view of where he was. The room had yellow walls with tiny floral designs, knickknacks sat upon a shelf in the corner of the room while a large screen television was suspended in the middle of the wall opposite of Jessie. Jessie pushed the fluffy covers off of him and sat at the edge of the bed. The bed had an dark brown mahogany frame, the sheets sported tropical orange, green, and brown from the patches of squares. Jessie rubbed his eyes. He yawned and stretched his arms. A feeling of ease coursed through his body as his muscles tensed and relaxed from the stretches. A voice called out to him, "Good morning babe, breakfast is ready!" Jessie's smile spread across his face, excited for the bacon that he was about to consume. "I'm coming, honey!" he yelled back. Jessie jumped out of bed and reached for his shorts, put there last night, on the floor. Jessie looked at the full body mirror near him as he put a leg through the shorts. He sighed at how "unmanly" he looked. Psh, who cares right? he thought to himself as his other leg went through. Shorts on, but chest bare, Jessie strode through the door.
As the door opened, the tropical light from the sun was replaced with a white florescent light bulb. The hallway was empty, with a few unoccupied gurneys littering the area. Confused, Jessie immediately put his hands to his cranium, a vain attempt stop the pain. A sharp white noise coursed through his ears and brain. His eyes closed shut, he stood there at the doorway to his medical room until the pain went away.
