He could not understand what was happening as he struggled to open his eyes. It probably took him a few more minutes before his memories returned to him, flashing before his eyes.
His friend shot him, realizing what had just happened.
He finally pried his eyes open, wanting to see where he was while fighting the pain.
But he could already guess from the beeping noise and the chaotic sound of the people around him that he was in a hospital.
"Ahhh!" He groaned, feeling the extreme pain of the wound in his left arm.
He could only wonder how bad it was as he assessed his health condition. He attempted to push his shoulder, but the stiffness of his muscles could only allow him to move an inch.
