Velvet

Strapped.

“Anyone out there?” Listen, “Heoolloo?”

Horizontal,
darkness,

room,

silent,

sweaty.

I’ve been awake for some time and don’t know where I am. I feel confused and alone. Why am I in this place? The bed must be raised on stilts because I know I am near the ceiling.

Suffocating.

Belts secure me to the bed. I can make out a ladder to my right.

“Hello there ANYONE?”

I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable, what am I doing up here?

Floating,

accumulated,
vapour,

drifting,

aimless,

skylight.

I can feel pain in my groin but I can’t work out why. I start to panic, ‘Can someone please HELL/pp.’

Trapped.

I have no idea who I am.
