The first thing I became aware of was a sound. A slow, steady beeping. Over and over. It echoed somewhere in the darkness, cutting through the fog that surrounded me. At first, I couldn’t understand where I was. Everything felt distant. Muted. Heavy. It was as if I were trapped beneath layers of water, slowly rising toward the surface but never quite breaking through. My body felt strange. Foreign. Like it no longer belonged to…
