Lucas opened his eyes slowly and shut them almost immediately because of the bright light in the room that flooded his vision. He waited for some seconds before opening his eyes again. This time he opened them one at a time.

His gaze swept across the room slowly, and he wondered why the place felt so unfamiliar. He tried to sit up when he realized that he wasn't at home, but his movement was too sudden, and it made his head spin, so he fell back and shut his eyes.

His head was aching so much that he could have sworn that there were a group of drummers doing a live performance in his brain. But then again, that was what he deserved for consuming so much alcohol until he was knocked out by it.
