The Light Above
from Tall And True Short Reads
I open my eyes, blink and try to focus on the bright lights set into the white ceiling flying past overhead. I hear beeps and muffled voices. It feels like I'm strapped to a camp stretcher, but it's moving. I'm on a hospital gurney. What happened? I want to ask. But there's a tube down my throat, and I can't talk. The Light Above is a short story written and narrated by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
