"Ugh, what the heck!"
I opened my eyes, squinting against the darkness, and realized I was sprawled on the floor of my room.
My vision was blurry and my head felt heavy, a side effect of having been in a deep sleep and dreaming intensely.
The sudden impact of my face hitting the floor sent a sharp wave of pain through my skull, jolting me awake.
As I lay there, I slowly began to take in my surroundings.
The familiar shapes of my furniture cast shadows in the dim light.
