She was a girl with red hair, green eyes, and freckles on her face. She has a heart-shaped birthmark on the corner of her right eye. Her eyes are covered with a white cloth. She is tucked underneath a white bed cover on a white bed. She is fast asleep on the bed. On her right is a white table, in front of her is a small white TV, and on her left is a small white couch. Next to the table hung a white curtain from the ceiling. This curtain separated her room from the person next door's room. Silence filled the room. It seemed like everything is on pause until the girl began to move her hand.
She shoot right up from her bed and sat there for awhile. She then yelled, "Is anyone here?! Why can I only see nothing but black?" A lady with white scrubs on came into her room. "Hi sweetie, how are you feeling today?" She asked. "Well, I'm fine I guess, but I can't see anything but the color black. Is it just me or is everything black here?" The girl questioned. "Oh don't be silly, everything in this room is white. Here, let me help you take the cloth off your eyes." The lady unwraps the white cloth around the girl's eyes. "There, can you see now?" The girl shook her head. There is a confused look on the lady's face. She pinched herself and looked around the room. In her eyes, everything is white. The table's white, the TV's white, the bed's white, the ceiling's white; everything is white except for the blue sky outside. "I'll be right back, let me get someone." The lady told the girl. The lady left and the girl began to move. She slowly crawled out of her bed and sat on the white floor. What's going on? I can't see anything. Why is that lady seeing white while I'm only seeing black? She thought to herself. Using both of her hands, the girl was able to feel that that there is a space between the bed and the floor. She cautiously crawled underneath the bed; trying to not hit her head against the bed. She puts her arms around her knees and her head down. She didn't move, but she is breathing.
A few minutes later, the lady came back in the room with another person. The girl is gone. "Where did she go?!" She cried. The two began to look everywhere for the girl, but never found her. They looked everywhere, but they didn't look underneath her bed. The girl with red hair, green eyes, and freckles on her face fell back asleep underneath the bed; for what seemed like forever. She “slept” under there, until years later; her corpse was discovered by a patient.
