Out of Time

I'm in the ICU I think somewhere in Cincinnati a city I do not know that well. I'm hooked up to tubes and machines they buzz and beep regularly. I think it must be nighttime there are no windows but the shadows are deep. Suddenly the machines start screaming rushing feet hurry near. Silence crashes into silence. A day later I am at home making plans for the trip to the hospital as if nothing yet had happened and nobody died.
