Ahhh headache... goddammit. Mom? Mom! What's this pain in my jaw? I got a toothache as well? F*ck... Mom! We got any aspirine left? Mom?
Hang on a second... this isn't my room. Is this... the floor? Did I fall out? I thought my floor was carpeted. Is dad working in here? F*ck my head is killing me! Is this even...? Wait, this isn't home. This isn't even DC is it? No wait, I wasn't in DC, I was in Colorado for college. No, not college. Not anymore. Walkers! Yeah, that's it, the world got f*cked and I was in Colorado. Trying to survive. So how did I get...?
What's this warm wet feeling on my eye? Am I sweating? Am I running a fever? No wait that's... blood? I'm wounded? Damn, my jaw is killing me! What is... uh-oh... Something's definitely out of place there. Right where it's hurting. Sh*t this is not good... Better have a feel...
OUCH! Goddammit! My arm hurts like hell too now? Why can't I move it so well...? What happened? Ow, my neck as well!
What's that nice? It's some sort of... ringing? It's not the surrounding is it? Some sort of heavy machinery? F*ck no, it's coming from inside my head!? The whole right side of my face is hurting now! I can't hear myself moving!
I gotta... gotta get out of here! Get back to that place in the mountains, our... camp was it? If I stay walkers will eat me, one bite and I become one of them. Don't want that. OOOH SH*T! Everything hurts when I move! My face, oh god my face... it hurts so much I wanna cry! And there's blood in my eye, it stings f*ck I wanna cry! I can't hear a goddamn thing! Isn't anyone else around?
"...len...!"
"El...!"
"Ellen!"
That's not the ringing is it? Is that... a voice? Is someone yelling Ellen? That's my name! Thank f*ck, that's my name! Someone's coming! Ugh... can't move... too much pain.
"Ellen! Sh*t! You guys, get over here, Ellen's still alive!"
Thank god... this guy is gonna help me. Think I know him too... Wharton, Carlton, Burton... something like that? No Denton, that was his name! This guy was in my class with that uniform stuff... soldiers... lieutenant! I'm an army lieutenant! ROTC, I remember! Gotta tell him where I'm hurting!
"Pffzh gllfzh!"
Okay, that was not what I was planning to say. F*ck my jaw hurted when I said that! Can also feel something pouring down the corner of my mouth... am I drooling? No wait, I can still swallow through. Eww, what the f*ck was that? What's that iron taste in my mouth, it feels familiar... Motherf*ck, that's blood! I've got blood in my mouth! Where's it coming from? Is it related to the hurt in my jaw? Is that where the blood's coming from? Are my teeth broken, did it somehow get pulled out? Thank god the ringing is subsiding... better have a feel with my tongue, see where all this blood comes from...
OW! JESUS! That's sharp! Damn, now I've cut my tongue as well! Did I break my teeth? Is that where the sharpness comes from? No... there's usually no teeth there. It feels cold, sharp... unnatural. Like it isn't supposed to be there. Hang on... JESUS EFFIN' CHRIST THERE'S SOMETHING STUCK IN MY CHEEK!
Gotta get up, get to a bathroom or something, stop the bleeding... Get a gauze, get to the ER... oh no wait, apocalypse no more hospitals... Doctor... we have a doctor at camp, gotta get to her, gotta get up! Hey watch it fella, let me get up I'm wounded here! Why are you holding me down!
"I need help here! Ellen's hurt bad! Ellen!? Ellen! Calm down! It's me, it's me Denton! Ellen, you're hurt, don't move! Stay still!"
To hell with you fella! I've got a f*cking something lodged in my cheek here, let me go! Wait, who's this? Another one? Maybe he'll convince the other ass**** to let me go!
"Jesus! Her face is f*cked!"
Yeah no sh*t genius. There's something sticking out of it! Now how about letting me go so I can fix this?
"Ggfffk! Hllllzsk!"
Well so much for my speech. Damn, wish this pain would faint, if only a little. So if these two clowns aren't gonna let me go, are they gonna help me at least?
"We gotta get her outta here! Grab her and let's go! Those New South guys are pulling back as well!"
Getting me out of here, good plan guys. Not happy about the grabbing me part though, I'm kinda in a lot of pa... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Motherf*cker! That hurt like hell! Jesus Christ fella how about some f*cking chivalry here huh? F*ck. Am I on this guy's shoulder's now?
"Hang on El, we'll get you outta here! We'll get you home and the doc'll patch you right up. Just hang on!"
Well finally some good news. I won't bother you about you jigglin' me. I'm not bothered by... bother... damn, I feel woozy. Sh*t's getting dark... am I fainting? Oh... yeah... definitely... fain... ting...
Damn what's that bright light... Where am I... What's that pulking around in my cheek? It hurts like hell! Am I...? Am I in the medical tent? Jesus Christ what happened!? Who's doing that!? Is that a walker!? Can I move? I can move, gotta get up!
"Ellen no! Ellen stay down, do you hear me!? Goddammit, hold her down!"
Humans, not a walker right? Am I in camp again? Is this even my camp? Gotta find out!
"Ellen! It's doctor Harding okay? I'm gonna give you something, don't struggle, don't struggle!"
Doctor Harding? She's one of the good guys... Struggling? Who's struggling? Am I the one struggling? Ow! Sharp pain in my arm... did she just put something in me? Feeling woozy again... getting dark... again. Feels kinda... good. Oh look, it's the doctor hovering over me. Hi doc! Damn this sh*t's making me f*cked up!
"Just go to sleep Ellen. You're safe, they got you back safe. We'll be right here when you wake up okay?"
Wow... room is spinning. I'm waking... I'm waking up? What has happened...? Oh right... kinda coming back to me now. Doctor Harding put me to sleep... was she operating me? Why would she... OH F*CK there was something in my cheek! Gotta get up, stand up have to look. Hang on, feeling... queezy. Getting nauseous. Must... throw up!
"BRWOAK!" OH HOLY HELL THAT HURTS! "BRWOAK!"
My f*cking cheek!
"Easy Ellen, easy! Just let it out but try not to open your mouth too much. Damn, I should've given you something for the nausea after the anaesthesia."
Woulda coulda shoulda doc! Damn, throwing up hurt like hell. Think I'm done now. Hey a tissue, thanks.
"Try not to speak too much yet, we had to operate your jaw and cheek. You've also got stitches above your eye."
Well that accounts for the burning feeling in my eye. Guess I'm lucky I can still look through both of them. I know I'm not supposed to say anything doc but...
"What... what... happened?"
Sorry about that doc. Just thought I'd ask.
"Do you remember the shootout?"
Shootout? Shootout... lemme think... Oh right! With those dudes dressed in the Confederacy uniforms. Mean sons-a-bitches. Better give the doc a nod.
"You got caught in an explosion Ellen. They brought you back with a piece of glass in your face. You also walked from the car to the medical tent, do you remember doing that?"
I walked to the medical tent? With a piece of glass in my face? Damn, I'm f*cking badass. Wish I remembered though. Better let the doc know I don't and shake my head.
"Probably the anaesthesia. Maybe it'll come back. It doesn't matter now. But Ellen... the damage to your face... I tried to patch it up best I could but..."
But what doc? Come on, don't leave me hanging! Is it bad? Come on tell me, is it bad???
"It should heal properly but it's gonna leave a scar Ellen. I tried to minimize it but..."
Yeah okay f*ck this no talking rule I gotta see it now.
"Plea... please... let me... let me see."
That wasn't so bad to talk. Hey a mirror, thanks doc. Okay here goes... god... dammit. GOD-DAMMIT F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK! Yeah, I'm crying. And it hurts. But my face is f*cking ruined! A big ass scar from my forehead almost to my chin! F*CK F*CK F*CK. I appreciate you putting your arm around me doc but it's hardly comforting.
"I'm sorry Ellen. We'll see what we can do to minimize it but... I'm sorry. Just try to get some more rest okay?"
Goddammit, I can't believe this. If there was a god once, he's long gone now. You can't take my family AND do this to me ass****! Just f*cking kill me already too! Dammit... DAMMIT! Falling asleep again. Gotta... rest.
