She awoke in a red-carpeted room, or so she thought. The floor was wet – warm, and blood-red. Perhaps, though it didn’t occur to her just then… she was bleeding.
In reality, the carpet was cream colored. And had been a very clean carpet, until her blood had been spilled upon it.
When she finally realized the excruciating throbbing in her head, she forced herself into a sitting position. Blood. My blood. I’m bleeding. Where am I… these are the thoughts that were running through her head as she scanned the room, panicking.
In the room, there was a grand piano… a polished coffee table with a glass vase of bright red roses… and a desk with a large chair beside it. The scene was so extremely tidy that she felt almost too unwelcome in the room, but this feeling lasted only a second or too; her pain soon distracted her.
She lifted a trembling hand to her head; first to her cheeks, then up to her temples. She traced around her ear… back to her neck. And she felt the gash. Warm blood, flowing freely from above her shoulder. The sleeve of her blouse was soaked… she let out a small moan…
Five slow seconds went by. One. Pause. Two. Pause. Three…
