Second life

His eyes could hear movements around him, but he seemed unable to open his eyes. His consciousness was aware of his surrounding, but something was preventing him from waking up.

Noises kept ringing in his ears, and some familiar voices echoed around the room, yet he could not understand them. Eventually, wondering if it was just a dream.

Then, something pulled him back to the darkness as all turned black. He was back to a deep slumber, buried in his dreams. He only hoped that tomorrow would be much brighter than his make-believe world.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." A lively voice spoke to him softly, but it sounded unfamiliar.

Who was that?

Lance could feel his eyes this time, compared to before. When he tried to move it, he felt it twitch. He could even feel his fingers as he tried to wiggle them.

"Do you know where you are?" The voice continued to talk to him, but he still felt disoriented, confused by his question.
