Kierin jumped up from his bed, blinking rapidly in an effort to clear his blurry vision. Scanning the room around him, he was unfamiliar with the setting, not what he remember from when he closed his eyes a moment before.
"I... is anyone there? Hello?" Looking around, no was there to return his question.
Looking around again, his eye caught the monitor situated on the nightstand next to his bed. *That cannot be* he thought to himself, not able to comprehend what he was looking at. The date. The date on the monitor. As he squinted his eyes in a desperate attempt to make sense of it all, the realization sunk in. The moment he thought it took from him speaking to Doc and now was 8 months. 8 months was but a flash of light to Kierin.
