My eyes flickered open to darkness. My teeth caught my lip as I studied my surroundings although I couldn’t focus due to the darkness. My heart was thumping, at least that was what I thought. This was a surprise that my heart was thumping so hard because of my crap lungs that didn’t work. Yes, I said it. I have lung cancer. The room started to shake. So it wasn’t my heart. It was the wind. I attempted close the window in my miniature room, but the ferocious wind threw me back. This wasn’t the normal New York I lived in, but the world of the unknown.
