Adeline was terrified. In her coma, she had heard violence and screams. She heard things being smashed, wood splitting, and porcelain shattering. She heard crying that shattered her eardrums.

She had seen a tunnel of light in the distance but never approached it, for she was scared of the noises. But when silence finally met her, she felt the need to stop the light. And when she did so, Adeline found herself staring up at the ceiling.
