《Observing Death》Limbo
Advertisement
A white ceiling, curtains closed surrounding the bed isolating me from the outside world. A constant beeping noise from a machine echoes in my ears, at least there's something to drive the silence away.
I have no clue where I am, I seem to have forgotten my memories.
Transparent tubings are inserted into my arms, following their trail there hung a bag of transparent liquid. A piece of cylindrical object is lodged into my throat, probably to keep my mouth open and allow me to breathe.
It was highly uncomfortable, I fought the urge to swallow my saliva which made my throat tighten in response giving me massive amounts of pain and discomfort.
I grabbed the object and slowly pulled it out my throat, I was gagging like crazy until I couldn't hold it anymore and just puked as the object left my mouth. I felt a burning sensation in my throat and nose, I need to get out of here.
The rhythmic sound of machines beeping continues to ring, but not for long as I took out all wires out of me and the apparatus finally showed a straight line followed by a piercing sound of a high note.
I had no trouble sitting up, the problem laid on my legs. I can feel them not having enough strength for me to stand, that didn't stop me though I used the metal pole where the transparent liquid hung as a crutch and slowly walked my way out of here.
As I drew the curtains, I was greeted with another bed closely similar to mine. It wasn't just one, there were rows of them.
My heart thumped in nervousness, I might be in some kind of prison, held captive performing questionable experiments on my body. I slowly walked out the only door I can see, looking around I see no windows present in this room which was weird and it brought a sense of unease.

I grabbed the door handle and pulled it down, pushing the door open carefully and slowly. I cautiously glanced from the small slit I just made, a bright hallway with no one in sight doors present on both sides of the wall evenly distributed and the whistling sound of wind blowing from the vents greeted me.
Despite this eerie atmosphere, I went out of the room but not before grabbing a scissor sitting on a table just beside the nearest bed.
I dragged my feet out of there, the wheels from my makeshift crutch kept on making noises, allowing me to have some breathing space not to be overwhelmed by the silence.
I kept on walking aimlessly through the hallway, after a few turns I noticed that the place seemed to have an exact replica of design everywhere I go. I can't judge whether I'm actually traversing forward or am I stuck in some illusion of a never ending hallway.
Either way I kept on walking, this time creating signs using the scissors scraping the wood on the doors marking them with a smiley face.
I finally saw something new after walking for a few minutes, seems like I wasn't in an illusion after all seeing as I never saw the sign again.
Standing there was an object, some kind of stuffed toy shaped like a bear. I felt myself stiffen up as I saw it's head move and turn towards me. I stood there in fear, my legs locked in place.
The bear started walking towards me, I unconciously took a step back, which made me slip on the floor losing my balance. The bear was holding my face, pressing my forehead with one of its arms. I watched as I went through the floor, the bear jumped off watching me fall through the void.

I thought I would perish here, only to be pushed back out, this time I was falling upwards. As I neared the ceiling I kept my eyes open, I didn't know why, I just did. My eyes were trembling and my body froze like a statue and at the moment of impact, everything went dark.
I woke up on the same bed, the same room only this time, I was surrounded by people wearing white coats. I curiously looked around and saw a little girl sitting next to me, staring at me, a teddy bear in her arms.
