Zero-G (2016)
“There isn’t even any light coming from under the door to the outside. The whole hospital must be down – I can hear confused shouts from somewhere in the corridor.
I expect the emergency lighting to come on. It doesn’t. I yank at the restraints again, as if the velcro was somehow only strapped shut because of the power. It doesn’t give, and I slam my head back on the pillow in frustration. There’s hammering on the door, and I yell at them to let me out, but then I hear running footsteps, get...ting fainter. Doesn’t matter – not to me anyway. I’m still stuck here. Still dead.
I hope Han Tseng feels really shitty afterwards, I think, and surprise myself by giggling. It’s a weird sound, tiny in the darkness. I shut my eyes; apart from a few muffled voices, somewhere in the distance, the hospital is almost completely silent. I could be lost in space, drifting further than any human has ever gone.
There’s a noise above me.MoreLess
