Bright light sipped into his darkness as his lashes slowly fluttered awake with a massive intake of breath like someone had dunk him into a large body of water. His eyes were wide open but he could not see a thing, everything was white. He could only hear the loud beating of his heart like it was going to jump out of his cage. It hurt everywhere in his body and it felt heavy. It felt as if a truck fell on him, he could not feel any of his limbs, his mind began to wonder what and how he ended up here and in this state. 'where am I?' he asked himself.
Voices began to infiltrate his hearing. Although the people speaking spoke in a hushed manner, it sounded very loud in Chad's drum. He could not identify any of the voices, they all sounded like swarming bees in his ears, it began to frustrate him. Maybe the discomfort he felt could be seen on his face because in a second, the whole place became quiet. Not even a sound can be heard, that was until a voice spoke.
