ExcerptVoices faded in and out, stirring Jenna to consciousness. “...admit her?” “...waiting for test results...depends on...” “Police want to question...” “...have to wait.” Admit her? Test results? Police? Where was she? Were these people talking about her? A strong scent of antiseptic stung her nose, bringing tears to her eyes. Something tightened on her arm, almost painfully so. She struggled to open her eyes. Bright lights sent a stabbing pain through her skull. “She's waking.” The familiar voice soothed her fears. Mr. Heartthrob, Rye Cameron. What was he doing here? Where was ‘here'? A hand curled around her wrist. “Jenna, this is Dr. Haynes. Can you hear me?” She groaned, turning her head into the pillow to escape the light. “You're in the hospital emergency room.” Hospital? The memory of the night of her father's heart attack flashed through her mind. “The lights,” she whispered. “Please shut off the lights.” She swallowed and winced at the raw soreness in her throat. Footsteps tapped across the floor. Once the lights dimmed, she squinted at the two men standing by the bed. “What happened?” she croaked. The doctor leaned close and peered into her eyes with a pencil-like light. “You don't recall?” She shook her head, and then remembered. Her stomach tickled her tonsils at the memory of a man hanging from the ceiling, his tongue protruding grotesquely. Her eyes widened in terror, and she opened her mouth to scream. |
