The early hours of the morning had settled over the city with an almost deceptive calm.

I spent fifteen days confined to a hospital bed after the car accident. Fifteen long days that blurred together beneath harsh fluorescent lights and the constant, rhythmic beeping of machines.

It sat there on the cold bathroom tiles, entirely out of place, quiet, odd, and carrying a faint sense of wrongness that neither of us could quite explain.
