Overdose

I feel the cold floor against my cheek as I look up.

Where am I?

Next to me is a bottle of open tablets, scattered all over the ground.

I grab the bottle, and see that they belong to me.

I’m confused…

I turn around and survey the setting.

I see a bed, with clean white sheets.

I hear a faint monitor beeping.

There is a grey curtain that covers the other side of the room.

I gather my strength to pull myself up to stand,

only to feel a tiny tugging at my arm,

I look down,

and see that I’m dressed in a light blue hospital gown,

there are cords attached to me.

What is this?

I begin to make the connection between the bottle of tablets, and my clothing attire.

Have I been admitted for drug overdose?

This can’t be,

there’s no way.

I rip the strings that have been glued to my body off.

The monitor gradually increases in volume,

to the point that it screams…

beep…

beep…

beep…

beep…

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I feel faint,

vomit crawls up my throat,

maybe I needed whatever juice that machine was pumping into me?

My knees knock against each other,

I feel so weak,

I can’t stand any longer,

and collapse to the ground.

Tears stream down my face.

I am a drug addict in denial.

Game over.

That is well written.

I like the confusion of the character, and the emotions that you displayed

the machine screaming beep was my favorite part, in a way, it mimicked the emotion of the hospital patient
