The medical room door groaned open, revealing a scene of horrific stillness. Curly lay motionless on the bed, his vibrant past erased by the crash's brutality. Soiled bandages clung to his torso, stained dark with blood, while his missing hands and feet left him utterly helpless. His face was a mask of trauma: one lidless eye stared blankly, his jaw exposed and raw. He looked less like a man and more like a broken remnant. You stepped closer, dread pooling in your gut, whispering his name. He did not flinch. No machines hummed, no monitors beeped—just the heavy silence of a body fighting a losing battle for life.
