Wake up
To tell the truth, my mind feels like I've been in a blender, it doesn't seem to make the slightest sense what I'm living, maybe it's the drinks or the parties, the late nights and the hangovers, but for my life has taken an unforeseen change and I don't even remember how I got to the place where I am.
I feel how the heat of the sun toasts my skin and a pleasant breeze brushes my body, while lying on a deck chair, in the distance I see a sailboat moving away in the horizon, to my left a small table with an ornate glass of piña colada half finished and to my right Laura and her beautiful body, adorned with a tiny bikini of a garish blue color. I can't complain about my luck, I never thought that fortune would touch me someday, 5 million..., more than fifteen years buying regularly a lottery ticket and I had never won anything and finally my moment arrived.
My moment, funny, I can't even clear my mind enough to remember what I felt when I saw the ten numbers in the morning paper and compared them to my ticket, I don't remember the jumping and screaming, the kissing and hugging, the sobbing of my mother and the uncontrolled laughter of Laura.
The piña colada seems to be stronger than I thought, my mind goes dull and I feel a strange shiver run up my legs to my back and my vision becomes blurry. Suddenly something happens, I hear voices in my head, which seem to wake me up from my sudden stupor:
-One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, now!!!- I heard.
I felt an immense pain in my chest and I could see before my cloudy eyes, the blurred face of an unknown person who placed a mask over my face, and then I felt how they pumped air through my mouth.
-I have a pulse, -I could hear a voice to my right.
-Tube him! - shouted someone else.
A blurred blue shadow, interposed in front of my cloudy eyes and I felt a cold hand on my forehead and leaned my head back, opening my mouth, a cold and hard object was introduced in my mouth, while the blurred figure that crossed in front of me blinded my sight with some kind of lamp and then I felt how an object was introduced in my throat to then remove what kept my mouth open, but the sensation of having something in my windpipe did not disappear.
-What happened to the girl, -asked the same voice as before.
-We couldn't do anything, she had very severe wounds in her skull and thorax, -answered another unknown voice-. They are trying to contact her family.
I tried to move my head, but something was immobilizing it, I couldn't feel my body, but my sight seemed to clear, I managed to move my arms and raised them over my face, I could see them, they were covered with blood, he had a deep open wound on the right, and they had several hoses and devices attached.
-Doctor, he is waking up, -said a voice.
-Give him 72 cc's of Propofol and increase the morphine drip, -answered the voice that seemed to be giving the orders.
I could see a woman in a blue gown and a blue coat stand over me and take one of the hoses that seemed to go into my arms and introduce some liquid with a syringe. Then she placed her hand on my forehead.
-Calm down, the sedative will not take long to take effect, everything will be fine....
Dazed, I woke up from my little nap, I was still lying on the deck chair, in the distance the sailboat was still in the same place, rocking by the swaying of the waves, Laura is still by my side and I will continue enjoying the sun and this delicious piña colada, as long as my happiness lasts.
