When Luigi Mazza woke up, his eyes opened really slow to get used to light again.
To make him wake up the doctors gave him a dose of a stimulant that turned out to be optimal.
“Hello, mister Mazza”, one of the nurses greeted him, “are you feeling well?”
Luigi took a while before answering. “I have a bit of a headache. Could you give me a painkiller, please?”
“Don’t worry. You only have to rest, for now”
The man kept staring at the snow-white ceiling and didn’t say anything, almost waiting the words of his speaker. “Today you shouldn’t move from here, at least until this evening. If you want, you could go for a little walk later, before going to sleep.”
“I’m not tired, I just have this headache.”
“I feel you”
“Where are the others?” he asked.
“Your brother didn’t arrive yet today; I don’t know about anyone else that came to visit you in these days” explained the nurse.
“Mm... I don’t know them either, I guess”, was Luigi Mazza’s answer, I only know that there was someone else, because I saw him”
“You think so? I think not, but maybe I could be wrong.”
There was a moment of silence that emphasized the perplexed face if the man while watching the nurse, that finished saying: “In the meanwhile, get some rest, you need it. You must be rather weak.”
Luigi Mazza kept looking at the man with the white coat without saying anything, even when he went out of the room.
What happened to me? Where am I? Where is everyone?
