"waking Up In Pain"

I lay on this surface with my eyes closed tight.. My body feels frozen but outside my eyes it's bright.. I can't move my legs and my arms are so cold.. A blanket up to my neck which I'm not able to unfold.. Beeping sounds all around my head, faint voices but I can't hear what's said.. Every part of me feels restrained, but where I am is closed and well contained.. My eyes start to flicker as this scene opens a little clearer.. My Mom and Dad standing over me with dried tears once filled with fear.. I was in a car crash and broke my leg, and a line of stitches placed across head.. This hospital room will be my home for awhile, while pain sets in as my tears hit the floor tiles.. A year of therapy to learn to walk, and some scars which cause much talk.. Now years have passed since my car hit that pole, which I pass every day but now it's only a story to be told... For "The Edge" contest

Different approach to the fear concept, love the way you make the reader guess how badly you were injured in the accident at first.. All the best with your entry rgds Wilma
