Destiny

[jammi]

I screamed and screamed, buckling against my restraints as the fire tore at me and light flooded into my burning eyes. Hands tried to hold me down, administer medicine as I writhed. Then the heat receded, the light dimming as I clamped my rolling eyes shut, gritting my teeth - tasting the blood from my bitten tongue.

Finally I fell limp as the illusion faded and failed. I opened my eyes again, to see exhausted looking doctors clustered around my bed. Straps were holding me down, across my forehead, chest and legs. My heart still raced as I slowly took stock my surroundings, my eyes flicking from one of the morbid looking doctors to another.

One of them fiddled with a bag of fluid that was attached by a feed to my arm, inserting a syringe into the tube and injecting the contents. My eyes fell shut once more, with my sleep being a drug induced restful oblivion rather than the burning flames of a demonic nightmare.
