Hospital


  I wanted to get out. I wanted to scream too. But I couldn’t. My mouth couldn’t open so, of course, no voice or sound could come out. I cried though, that was one of the things I was able to do. My tears tasted funny, salty but weird. I got tired of crying after a while and then I just feel asleep. When I woke up, some doctor was poking at the machine that was connected to my body. He didn’t even look at me, as if I wasn’t there. He just wrote some things on a note pad and then left, leaving me trying to ask what had happened.

Because, no matter how much I tried, there was no way I could remember what had happened. I was certain I had been sick for a couple of days at home, some kind of flu or maybe a virus inside the stomach. It was awful but not strange, nothing out of the ordinary. And suddenly, one day, I woke up in that hospital feeling as if I had been beating up by someone. From the first moment, I wasn’t able to speak and whatever the put in my veins was making me doubt every single thing that I thought when I was awake.

 My body always felt awful. I was hurting too much every day and it felt there was something strange. One would think I would feel better as the days went by but I didn’t. I was feeling just as bad on day one as on the other ones. I don’t even know how long I was there. One night though, I heard something odd. Someone was crying very loudly and then she began to scream. She screamed for a long while until the voice stopped. Somehow, hearing her had made me feel a bit better, as if I could finally step out of that bed.

 But I didn’t do that. I glanced at the machine that was connected to me and realized it was probably telling the people in that place how I was feeling and maybe even what I was doing. If I disconnected it, maybe they would notice it in a few minutes and I would be caught before I could imagine a plan to get out of that place. I had to be smarter than them; I had to really think of a good plan to run away, to escape what was most likely some kind of prison or mental hospital. An awful place in any case.

 They kept injecting me with the same drugs but, luckily, I realized they really didn’t work anymore. My sore legs and arms where fighting the poison they were pumping in my veins. I felt better by the hour and they had no idea. I was tempted to smile but I still couldn’t do that. For some strange reason, I wasn’t able to speak yet. I couldn’t make any sounds but I had grown accustomed to that. In my head, there was only the idea of escaping that place and talking had nothing to do with that. I had already come up with a plan and didn’t even care if it could be successful.

  That very night, I stood up for the first time in a long time and I grabbed the machine to avoid getting disconnected from it. I then peaked through the nearest window, which was almost impossible as it was a bit higher than me. I had to stand on the tip of my toes in order to look down at a large yard made of stone. It had been raining. There was no one outside and the place looked as if it wasn’t precisely populated by many people. By the look of the place, it seemed to be far away from any city or town.

I then walked to the down and realized it wasn’t locked. They didn’t have a reason to lock the doors as they kept me, and probably all other patients, too drugged up to even walk around the room. I have to confess that I wasn’t feeling perfect right then, but I had to do something soon because I didn’t know why they were keeping us there. Maybe the final step in their “care” for us was to kill us. So waiting forever was not really the best choice. I just had to do something, no matter the result.

 I opened the door a bit, enough to look outside. It was very dark and even colder than inside the room. I couldn’t hear any sound, not a voice or anything else. I closed the door and faced the biggest problem I had: the chord in the machine was not long enough for me to parade around the hallway outside without the nurses and doctors noticing I wasn’t in my bed anymore. So I had to make a choice. It didn’t took me very long to decide to rip off the thing that was loading drugs into my system.

 The moment I did it, my body felt a little bit weaker but I had to go out soon and run down the hallway, hoping the nurses and doctors were kept away from the rooms outside of their working hours. It seemed I was right, because I didn’t see any of them as I descended to the ground floor. It was only when I got to the yard I had seen from above, that I actually saw a group of them running up the stairs, probably going to my room. I hid in the shadows for a bit and then stepped outside, in order to find an exit.

 It seemed nature wanted me to be successful because a storm begin brewing in a few moments and then rain came down hard. The water and the mist caused by the cold was enough to hide my body from my captors. I stepped out into the garden and tried finding a way out. But there was a tall brick wall all around the compound. So I had to make an effort, I had to make myself feel like shit once again, swallow all the pain in order to finally escape. I jumped many times until I finally got a grip and then my muscles ached as I hoisted my body to the other side of the wall.

 Everything hurt, but I knew I couldn’t just stay there complaining. I ran through some fields of wild flowers and then deeper into a forest. I had no idea where I was; I wasn’t able to recognize anything about my surroundings. But I was certain that no hospital of that kind could be too far away from some town or city. They probably needed a supermarket for groceries and pharmacies to get some of the drugs. At least I hoped that’s the way it all worked, because I had no other thing to do.

 The forest was rough and I had to stay there overnight. It was too dense and there was nothing I could grab to eat, but somehow I felt much better there than in the hospital. I felt all the drugs coming out of my body as I peed and sweated, feeling much better by the next morning. I walked even more that day and was lucky enough to find a small village. I got there walking by the road. I hoped not to look too scary, but there wasn’t a lot I could do related to that. I just needed to do something, to take the final risk.

 The first person that saw me was a little boy and that wasn’t probably the best thing ever. He got scared and called her mother, who came by very fast. I tried to talk again, but I couldn’t. She screamed and said things and I felt very dumb for not realizing that it would be very hard to communicate with others without being able to talk. So I just knelt in front of them and tried to show them how defenseless I was and how much in need of their help I was. I stayed like that for a while, until they left.

 I thought they had been scared and had just run away, but they did come back in a few minutes with a policeman. I was glad to see someone that could actually help me. I knelt again and put my hands together, trying to make him understand that I couldn’t talk. He apparently understood. He asked me to come with him and I nodded. He put me inside his car and we then rode for a while, until we got to the police station. There, some doctor checked on me, which made me feel awful but I knew it was necessary.

 Luckily, I still remembered how to write. My hands were not very ready to do it, but it was clear enough for the cops to understand. They sent patrol cars to the hospital and freed many people that were being submitted to experimental drugs of many kinds. None of them could talk either.

 I eventually realized I wasn’t in my own country.  I couldn’t remember everything from my past but it was clear I was completely out of my element. I had to learn to be unable to speak and it took me a while to get to the memories that would help me getting back home.

Hostilities have ended


   From the hospital, we could see the city burning. Several fires had been lit up by the crowd. It was an expression of happiness and revolt, of fury and a desire for the future. The people out in the streets were happy that such a long war had finally ended, after so many had been assassinated and others just disappeared as if they had walked into another dimension. Everyone knew they had probably been killed by the government and then buried somewhere far, but people didn’t want to think that. They would have years for that.

 We saw it all from afar, behind a glass that protected us from the outside, in a building that had been designed by and for our enemies. However, we needed care and when our group was finally able to enter the city, we were able to secure that hospital and its resources for own. Of course, the patients that had been left there were tended too by the doctors and the nurses of our team, but some of them were placed under “house arrest”, as many were involved with the military and the horrors of war.

 I decided to leave Mark, who was very tired, and just wander around the hospital. I thought I could hear someone talking about what had happened in the city or maybe some other information. There were many screens all around the hospital but none of them worked. Television had being suspended almost a year ago, as the prior government thought it was a misuse of money and electricity. They removed all permissions to broadcast and forbid anyone from broadcasting anything in any way.

 Even with the success of the rebels, television would take its time to return after such a long period of silence. It would take a long time to get the country running smoothly, if that was at all possible. Everyone had things to do and they all seemed to be much more important than television or things that people in general missed from the older times, before everything had gone to hell. I missed candy for example, but sugar had not been used to make candy in at least five years, by government decree.

 I walked all over the hospital, checking out every abandoned ward and every silent corridor. The place was sunk in a blue haze and the fact that the day was getting brighter did not improve the general mood. When I finally got to the reception, the lady tending to the only active phone line seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. I was afraid to ask her anything but when she saw me she just signaled me to go closer and she then handed me a paper. I read the only few lines that were written on it: “Call General Ford. Urgent.” And then a number underneath it.

 She had no chance to explain the message and I didn’t have the need to have it explained. After all, we knew exactly that our time in the hospital was going to be short. I was kind of sad for Mark, even thinking about how to tell him the news. When I got to the room, he was up. He smiled at me like he always did and I just got closer and kissed him softly. He smelled a bit bad because of the long way we had to go through to get to the hospital. I was sure I smelt exactly the same or even worse. But who cares?

 I then told him about General Ford and he understood it all in a second. We look towards the window, were smoke from one of the fires had grown pretty big and was almost covering half the city. It was obvious they were still burning things. That place was our destination. So I helped Mark with his clothes and into the shower. He insisted I should join him, so I did. We had a nice little time together, as we had never been able to have. It was so nice and incredible; I wanted to stay there forever.

 That wasn’t an option. We dressed up in new clothes that we had found in a closet, in the room across the hall. They were a little bit big on me and short on him, so we laughed for a while. It felt so good to be able to laugh, to have your ribs hurt because of happiness and not because of violence. We finished preparing and I helped him walk down to the reception. Once there, the woman in the reception was still busy but used her hands again to point at a couple of crutches I hadn’t seen there before. She was good.

 Mark went out first, followed by me. The surroundings looked safe, so we entered the car we had used to get there, a stolen piece of property. I turned it on and in a short moment we were already on the main road towards the city center. Through the windows, we could see some of the fires that were burning. There were no stores in flames, no residential buildings. Only government offices where people had entered to burn every single record in existence. It was a way to say we had to start over.

 No one out there seemed dangerous, but they did stop doing their things as we passed by because there were not too many cars being driven around the city at that time. Only the rebels, the winning faction, were operating any kind of vehicle. That kind of scared me. Mark must have thought the same thing because he just put a hand on my thigh and pressed gently. I was so lucky to have him there. For a while, I had no idea if I would ever go back to that city, the place where I had been born. After so much, it was pretty much a surprise to be there, as if nothing had happened.

 We finally got to the main fire, the one from where a huge plume of smoke was rising to the sky and across the city. It was the presidential palace that used to be white and was now some shade of grey. A large amount of people were gathered there, some staring and others carrying stuff to throw to the main pyre. We stopped the car and got out, in order for them to know it was us and no one else. Yet, no one really noticed us. It was only when we got real close, that a few guards stopped us.

 Mark started explaining who we were but he was interrupted by a scream of joy. Sophia was there and she ran straight for Mark. She was obviously happy to see him alive and I have to confess I couldn’t blame her for being so excited. After all, she had been promised to him in marriage for a couple of years before the war. However, the wedding was never performed because of all the fighting and the fact that her family wanted her to be safe, somewhere very remote. So she had no idea who he really was.

 I smiled at her and she smiled back. She had no idea I knew her from a photograph he had in his wallet, she had no idea who I was. But that wasn’t important. The guards left and, before I could ask for anything, General Ford walked straight to us and pointed to a building on the other side of the square where the presidential palace was located. People applauded when they saw the general, a woman that looked so strong was the cause the government had finally fallen and they were free again.

 We entered the other building and then a room that was very nicely arranged. There was no food or anything, only other people that had fought the war with us. We all knew each other, because we had met in the battlefield, in the camps where they had interred us and in the mountains we had to hide for so long. Mark hugged half the people there and I waved and smiled a lot, more than in any other occasion in my life. It was nice, after all, to see them there. It was like having a family again.

 General Ford informed us about our particulars, our real families. Some of them had died, others like mine had fled the country and a few had somehow survived the ordeal. It was a sad, solemn moment but we were thankful to her. It was then she invited us to take part in the first televised event of the new era. We were a bit surprised by the proposal but she gave us no time to say anything. Apparently, she was going to be the first one to use the airwaves again to properly announce the end of hostilities. A television camera was brought and several microphones. I just took Mark’s hand and thought it could never get worse than the war.

Rollercoaster


   Waking up had never been that difficult. My eyelids felt heavy and sticky. In the glimpses I had been able to witness, I couldn’t really see anything. Besides, they happened every so often, when my body would come back from the induced state the doctors had put me on. I remember opening my eyes wide, right in the middle of the main surgery. After that, I opened them slightly and wasn’t able to see a thing because it was blurry and pitch black. I remember the scent of disinfectant, though.

 I did not now how long I stayed in there; it felt like days, maybe weeks. The day I was finally able to properly open my eyes, I was surprised to find myself in a large hospital bed. Of course, I knew all along I had been in a hospital but there was no way I or my insurance could afford to have such a nice room. I turned on my chest and looked to the other side of the room, finding a very large window overlooking… Well, nothing. I was apparently in a very tall building because I could only see clouds.

 It rained soon after; at about the same time a nurse came in and checked my pulse and other vital signs. She asked if I was able to sit, so I tried to rise myself and sit on my behind, like people do. But I couldn’t. I felt a jolt of pain electrifying my body. She helped me back to the position I had been before and said she was going to get a doctor and some painkillers. The only one I wanted to see was the medication. I had never been a fan of doctors, especially when they tend to ask too many questions.

 Sure enough, a rather large man with a white robe entered the room minutes later and started firing questions. At first, I tried to keep up with him but eventually I stopped answering because he wanted very specific responses that I wasn’t able to answer properly. Besides, he seemed angry somehow, almost yelling at me for not knowing what he was asking.  He hurt me a bit when he grabbed my arm to check my blood pressure and then another jolt ran through my body when he checked my backside.

 That second instant of pain was enough. I don’t even know how, but I turned around and jumped out of bed, away from him. It hurt, but I didn’t care. I reached the doorway and there I faced him and demanded him to go out of my room. He seemed sort of amused by my demand but I insisted, as some tears started to run down my face. Not only that, something had happened and I was bleeding on the floor, heavily. The nurse ran out to get help and the doctor did the same, not before looking at me as if I was a monster. I wanted to die right then and there.

 A group of nurses took care of me. They seemed kind and did a wonderful job at patching me up again. Apparently, one of the stitches had come loose after I walked out of bed. So they had to fix it, giving me more painkillers and even a special medicine to sleep all night. They had intended for me to have something to eat but I seemed far too tired to do that, so they decided to leave that for another moment. I remember sleeping like a baby, having no dreams or pain. Only a great moment of peace.

 I woke up the next morning to a face I had never seen before. It was a woman, older than the other nurses, wearing a nice knitted sweater and matching skirt. She seemed kind, at least if her smile was to be believed. She excused herself for being there but told me she had wanted to talk to me for a while and she had decided it was best if she just waited for me to wake up. I felt a little bit weird at the moment, but the arrival of one of the nurses made the room feel a little bit cozier.

 After a brief check on my status, the nurse left not before telling me she would bring me some food in a moment. I smiled at her because, obviously, I hadn’t eaten a single piece of food for days or even weeks, only having a liquid pumped into my veins. When I thought of food, I pictured chocolate cake and a good big piece of red meat and a cup of tea with lots of cookies and even a big bowl of vanilla ice cream.  Then, I remembered I was in a hospital and realized they weren’t known for great food.

 I was left alone with the woman in the sofa. She stood up when the nurse left and asked me how I was feeling. I did not know how to answer the question and she seemed to notice that because she then asked what my favorite movie was. Instantly, I was able to tell her I had many favorites and would never be able to choose only one. She laughed and told me she loved romantic dramas but also science fiction films with a lot of gore. She knew it was a curious mix, but it worked for her.

 That silly question got us talking for a whole hour, even after the nurse came back with my food tray. As I had imagined, the food was very bland and not especially appealing but it was something and I ate it all within minutes. The woman, who happened to be a psychiatrist for the hospital, was a very funny person and I have to say I felt safe with her Besides, she seemed intelligent enough not to drill me about what had happened. Obviously, it was her job to know about it and ask me how I was after that ordeal, but she knew exactly how to manage the whole situation.

 She came back every day for a week, as I slowly got better. She was just outside the room when another doctor, a kinder one, came in and removed the stitches. It hurt a little but I never felt a jolt of pain again. The man told me that it was all coming up very well and that I could be out of the hospital in a week or even less. That reminded me to ask who was paying for the whole thing but the doctor pretended not to listen to what I said and instead made me remember I had to rest properly.

 I asked the psychiatrist too but she authentically did not know who was paying for everything. We had talked about how I had left my home years ago and how I wasn’t in touch with my parents or any of my relatives. Besides, I told her how they had rejected me when I was outed in school and hypothesized that they wouldn’t even look at me if they knew what my life had come to. She asked if I missed them and I confessed sometimes I did. But most times, they weren’t even in my mind.

 Two days before my release, a nurse and the psychiatrist joined me for a walk around the hospital. They told me I was going to need a lot of physical therapy to be able to walk normally but that it was almost a given that I would be able to do so in a few months. Of course, the therapy had already been paid but, again, no one seemed aware of who was paying for all of it. And to be honest, I had grown tired of asking. Maybe after it was all in the past, I would be able to properly investigate the whole thing.

 The day I was released from the hospital, all the nurses that took care of me came to say goodbye. I cried and they cried too. We had become closer and I felt them as sisters or aunts. My psychiatrist came too, telling me she would be there if I ever wanted to have a word or if I needed something. She even gave me her personal phone number. I thanked them all and went back home, to a small and dirty little apartment in a crappy neighborhood and the reality of having no prospects in life.

 The very next day, I got a letter. A written one. Of course, that was highly unusual. The moment I read it, I felt weak and wanted to run away but I didn’t know where. Suddenly, I felt in an open field where I was an easy prey for anyone to take advantage of.

 Then, I remembered my psychiatrist’s number. I asked her to meet me and she gave me her address. I arrived there within the hour, crying and in a state I hadn’t been in days. I explained to her the contents of the letter: the revelation of the person that had paid for my hospital expenses. It was him.

Malditos idiotas

   Cuando me desperté, estaba en una cama conectado a una de esas máquinas que hacen ruidos repetitivos. Un par de tubos iban y venían y algunos otros estaban conectados a mis manos. Me dio ganas de rascarme apenas los sentí, pero no pude hacerlo porque el solo pensamiento de moverme hizo que todo el cuerpo me doliera, como si una descarga eléctrica de alta potencia pasara por todo mi cuerpo. El dolor fue amainando y fue justo cuando ya no me dolía nada cuando la enfermera entró a la habitación.

 Pensé, tontamente, que había venido porque de alguna manera la estúpida maquina había detectado mi dolor. Pero no, solo había venido a revisar que estuviese vivo, respirando y absorbiendo el suero al que estaba conectado. Quise fingir que estaba dormido. No supe porqué, pero creo que no estaba listo para que la gente supiera que había despertado, vuelto a este mundo de mierda que me había puesto en esa cama de hospital. Pero no pude hacerlo y ella salió apresurada de la habitación.

 En poco tiempo otra enfermera y un doctor vinieron a visitarme. Tuvieron para conmigo las palabras de siempre que dicen cuando alguien está en un hospital y las mismas preguntas estúpidas del estilo: “¿Se siente usted bien?”. Imbéciles, pensé. Pero no lo dije. De hecho, no podía hablar porque la garganta me dolía demasiado. El doctor ordenó que me trajeran algo de tomar y fue entonces cuando me di cuenta de que tenía un hambre feroz y hubiese preferido un batido de carne al jugo de zanahoria que trajeron.

 Me lo tomé en silencio y solo, puesto que ya era tarde y nadie se quedó conmigo para ver si me tomaba el espeso liquido o no. No estaba feo pero el sabor o la consistencia del dichoso jugo no me importaba en lo más mínimo. Me lo tomé mirando por la ventana, como si pudiera ver algo. La verdad era que el otro lado parecía la boca de un lobo, completamente oscuro y sin ruidos que denunciaran exactamente donde estaba. Porque de idiota no me había fijado en la bata del doctor.

 Me quedé despierto varias horas, pensando en mi accidente. Me acordaba bien como se sentía su cuerpo cuando lo empujé al separador de la avenida y también recuerdo sentir como si se me viniera una montaña encima pero solo había sido un automóvil que había llegado al semáforo a alta velocidad. Por lo visto el color rojo no significaba nada para ese borracho o drogado o lo que fuese ese maldito desgraciado. No supe que pasó después pero la rabia no me dejó dormir en paz hasta que llegó la luz de la mañana. Tuvo un efecto de calmante y me dormí sin chistar.

 Los días en un hospital pasas lentamente. Debe ser lo mismo que en una cárcel, pues en ambos lugares se está en una pequeña habitación sin posibilidades reales de salir a dar una vuelta. En mi caso, no me dejaban salir porque no podía usar las piernas. No había quedado invalido pero había estado muy cerca. Todos los días venía un enfermero francamente atractivo y él era el encargado de hacer la terapia pertinente para que pudiese mover las piernas lo más pronto posible.

 Mi voz mejoró y pasados algunos días ya pude flirtear un poco con el terapeuta. El solo se ría o sonría y cambiaba de tema. Estaba seguro de que lo hacía sonrojar y eso era una indicación muy clara pero la verdad era que yo solo lo hacía por hacer algo, por sentir que todavía era la misma persona de antes. Además, no quería verme débil ante nadie y no había mejor manera de aparentar que haciéndome el chistoso todo el tiempo, con apuntes y preguntas tontas.

 Pero cuando se iba la gente, volvía a mi estado de casi depresión. Y digo casi porque dudo que haya sido igual a lo que viven muchos, que se sienten hundidos en un hueco del que no pueden salir. Mueven los brazos como locos y simplemente no logran salvarse a si mismos. No es mi caso o eso creo. Yo siento tristeza de lo que me pasó pero más que todo rabia hacia las dos personas que estuvieron en ese momento conmigo, los otros dos protagonistas de la historia.

 El conductor, alguien me dijo, se echó a la fuga antes de atropellarme. Eso era algo que yo no sabía e hizo que mi odio aumentara sustancialmente. Pero lo que me dio rabia, de esa que da ganas de demoler una pared a mordiscos, fue que la persona que yo había empujado no hubiese venido jamás a visitarme. Ni siquiera había preguntado por mi y cuando confronté a mi familia y a los pocos amigos que habían venido a verme, nadie decía nada, como si se tratase de un secreto de estado.

 Le pedí a mi hermana que me trajera mi portátil y obligué al guapo de la terapia a que me diera la clave del internet inalámbrico del hospital. Apenas pude, busque a la persona que salvé en internet y pude ver como se hacía el héroe en cuanta red social podía. Lo peor, era que todo el mundo se creía su ángulo de la historia, así hubiese sido yo el que lo había salvado. No tenía nada de sentido pero para atraer idiotas no hay que tener mucho sentido común, solo palabras atractivas. Palabras en las que nunca se me mencionaba, ni por error o confusión.

 Estuve cuatro meses en el hospital hasta que por fin pude mover las piernas. Tenía que seguir yendo a terapia pero eso no importaba, podía caminar y los pronósticos eran muy positivos. Abracé al guapo de mi terapeuta y le planté un beso en la boca que sorprendió a todos pero más que todo a él. Era mi última gran sorpresa, antes de irme a casa de vuelta a mi habitación y mis cosas. Debo decir que dejar el hospital fue duro, pues regresaba a la cruel vida diaria con el resto de mortales.

 Mi familia solo tenía para mí cariño y los más grandes cuidados. Les pedí que no se fastidiaran tanto estando pendientes de mi estado, puesto que debía avanzar yo solo para mejorar de verdad. Sin embargo, los dejé hacerme ricos postres y llevarme a restaurantes que me gustaban. Era mi momento para mimarme un poco, creo que me lo merecía. Tal vez no me merezca nada en esta vida pero me sentía cansado desde antes del accidente y aprovecharse de una tragedia personal no es tan malo.

 Al fin y al cabo, fue a mi que me levanto ese desgraciado del pavimento. Fui yo quien tuve las piernas casi rotas y fracturas por todo el cuerpo. Fue a mi al que me sangró la cara y otros lugares del cuerpo que prefiero no nombrar. Fui yo quién salvó a un imbécil de ser aplastado por un vehículo a alta velocidad. Así que algunos tendrán que disculpar mis ganas de vivir un momento de vida en tranquilidad, disfrutando de aquellas cosas que solo la buena vida y todo lo que ella implica, pueden aportar.

 Eventualmente dieron con el tipo que me había atropellado. Esta es una ciudad atrasada y llena de idiotas pero por alguna razón providencial, había una cámara de seguridad en un edificio frente al lugar donde me habían atropellado. Se veía todo con una claridad sorprendente y esa fue la pieza clave para dar con el paradero de quién resultó ser una mujer. Se había ido a esconder a otra ciudad pero pronto fue arrestada y se me pidió testificar en contra, algo que hice con todo el gusto.

 Fue a la cárcel, condenada por no sé cuantos años. La gente dice que debería perdonarla pero eso me parece una reverenda estupidez. Esa mujer hizo lo que hizo y lo primero que pensó no fue en ayudar sino en protegerse a si misma. Puede pudrirse en la cárcel.


 En cuanto a la persona que salvé, un día se me acercó en un cine y me pidió disculpas. Yo le dije que no tenía tiempo puesto que estaba en la mitad de algo importante. Tomé de la mano a mi terapeuta y la expliqué quién era la persona que me había saludado. “Nadie importante”, le dije.
