Unknown in Room 9

The man was rushed in after a terrible crash, bruised and dazed. I approached as his eyes fluttered open, full of confusion. “You’re in a hospital,” I said gently. “You’ve been in an accident.” He looked around, panicked. “Who am I?” he whispered. “I can’t remember anything.” I placed a hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay. You’re safe now. We’ll help you remember.”
