He remembered safety, but not when the dark warmth was replaced with sterile fluorescents, and the smell of oranges—a smell of his childhood—had been replaced with the sting of antiseptics. Somewhere near him a machine beeped, matching his heartbeat. He looked around, cold, thousands of little tubes protruding his skin. His clothes were gone, replaced by a paper-thin “gown”. A doctor walked in, checked the machines, wrote something do...
