Hey-a Sunset!
I hope you're doing fantastic today.
This chapter seemed pretty short, so I thought I'd give it a go and review it.
I didn't read the previous chapter, and as of right now the only question I have is how this person ended up in the hospital. This chapter is short and not much happens until the end. It's basically a hospitalized person watching the world go around him. His thoughts, his inner reactions to what people are saying and doing.
I actually kind of liked how he (I'm assuming it's a he) can't say anything. He can only look, feel, not hear very well and smell. Ooh, random thought here but since you are focusing on his senses here, why not add smell? Can he really smell? I don't know how serious this injury is. But, anyway - you know how hospitals always have that chemical-ish, cleaning smell? Well, whatever. Just a thought.
My only hope came from the words of a complete stranger, assuring me that I wouldn’t die.
Um. Exactly who is this complete stranger? The doctor? A nurse?
Five nurses hurried into the room. My heart pounded. They grabbed me by the arms, and touched the machine, and fear settled in, what was happening?
This kind of presented a weird image. I just pictured five nurses marching in and grabbing this guy by the arms, then touching the machine. Why were they grabbing him by the arms?
The doctor came in next, clipboard in his hands. He said some things, and God, I wish I knew what he was saying. Was this it? Was I really about to die?
This could be a mistake on my part because I didn't read the previous chapter, but just how serious was this guy banged up? It must have been pretty bad if he's jumping to the conclusion that he might die. And going back to the "complete stranger" part - if they were part of the hospital staff and said he wouldn't die, then he shouldn't, right? They would know. And his parents aren't sobbing all over the place every time they see him buuut he is on medicine so what's a drugged guy going to assume anyway?
I probably should go back and read the chapter before this, aha.
Have a fantastic day, Sunset! I'll see ya around.
cheers!
