“WHA... WHAT’S GOING?” I mumbled the half-coherent words as I was awakened from my slumber, my dream, my memory fading already while everything was still dark. My thoughts were sluggish.

“About damn time. Get your lazy ass up and get to the common room. Breakfast is being served. And we still need to take your blood pressure.” I could hear the annoyance that saturated Nurse Louise's voice. Her vise-like grip on my shoulders was released before pushing me back down onto the bed. I could hear her walking away, her soft grumbles unintelligible. Why is she waking me up so early? It’s still dark out. I can’t even see any...

“I can’t SEE!”

Waving my hands in front of my face did nothing. There was only total darkness. But there was more than just the blindness. Moving was a struggle. My arms felt like they were pushing through molasses as I waved them. “Nurse! Help me! I can’t see. I can’t move!” I cried out in fear-fueled desperation toward where I knew the doorway was. I thought Nurse Louise had left, until I heard a deep, irritated sigh.

“I’m not in the mood for your bullshit, Mr. Winchester. Get your ass up and to the common room for breakfast, then on to have your blood pressure taken. So stop your lies and get up... or else I will have Rocco come in here if you really need help. But he is already upset enough at having been called in early due to Jimmy calling in.

But it couldn’t have been long, since Rocco never came. Finally, my logical mind began to reassert itself. And I knew if I didn’t do something, I would be in worse trouble. Slowly, I began to sit up, pushing myself through what I perceived as “thick” air. I managed to stand, but by the time that feat was managed, I was drenched in sweat. But I was rewarded for my effort. A sudden thick crack of light filled my eyes. It was blurry, but in that slim crack I could make out my feet. Well, mostly just my toes. I don’t know how or why, but that slight image gave me hope. My movement remained ponderous. But I managed to get into the common room. My shins and toes suffered from my lack of visibility. I sat there for hours, asking anyone who came by me for help, trying to explain what was going on, pleading for assistance. But the only person who listened or seemed to care was silent. Every once in a while, a soft, slender, reassuring hand would reach out and stroke my head or rub my back. I tried speaking to them, but
