Creepy Hospitals

I had a minor surgical thing awhile back. There is something disconcerting about giving your clothes and your belongings to a stranger dressed in an alien bluish green uniform. You allow them to poke you with needles and hook you up to cords that don’t seem to have any purpose. They wheel you down a long cold white hallway. The hallways of a hospital are what I picture the light being when they say “go towards the light”. In my mind it is always a long white hallway I would be going towards, with the world behind me full of the people and places I love. It’s a long white hallway that leads to some other place. I picture a glorious beautiful place at the end of the hallway. In this case it is just a big white room with lots of people in similar alien uniforms. All of them talking over me to each other. They inject something into one of the plastic cords attached to my arm and I can no longer follow their conversations. When I talk there is a round of laughter in the room. I wonder what I am saying that is funny. Then suddenly I wake up in a different room, achy and blurry. Slowly I wake up and eventually I go home and wonder what the hell happened.
