Mission 37
Chapter 1
The young woman woke up to the suffocating smell of bleach, her nostrils flaring from the smell. The room was utterly still. Silence surrounded her, apart from the distinctive sound of beeping. She shot up from the bed, frantically searching around the room. The lights above her blinding her vision. She squinted, her eyes trying to gain focus on her surroundings. Her nostrils flaring again, as her mind returned to the smell of bleach, she covered her mouth, trying not to be sick. She ran her hands against the sheets, they felt like paper against her skin. Her vision was becoming clearer, looking around she realised it was a hospital-like room. The monitors next to her had cables running along the floor, up the side of the bed and… into her arms. Panic crossed her face.
