replacethexanax - Peaceful? I think not...

In my writing class tonight, we were assigned a short exercise.  We had about 3 minutes to quickly come up with a setting.  With creating our setting, the professor would then have to guess whether it was (1) a peaceful or scary place, and (2) where it was.  This is all my brain would allow me to come up with under the given time limit...

"The lighting - so bright.  So very bright.  I don't think K-Mart is brighter.  With the blinding flouresent lights that makes your brain go just a little bit fuzzy - to the point where your not sure if your having a seizure or not.  The constant beeping is so deafening and melodic at the same time.  There are machines, and wires, and tubes - Everywhere, blocking almost all sight.  The beeping - it is getting louder now.  The sound of artificial breath is so rythmic, almost trance-like.  The smell is familar yet a bit uncertain.  It is an unpleasant mixture of industrial laundry detergent and antiseptic hand wash - dancing in your nostrils.  The lighting almost makes you need to squint your eyes so that they may adjust.  The television hasn't been touched, making the beeping grow annoyingly louder.  The sterlie air gets trapped in the very back of your throat.  ......

That is where we were told to put our pencils down.

I tried for several minutes to come up with something "sunny" and "light" and "breezy"...Unfortunately, this is all my mind would allow.

Will it ever be free of this?
