The hospital room hums with fluorescent light, the antiseptic smell thick in the air. Machines beep a steady rhythm around you, your body limp on the bed, consciousness flickering like a dying bulb. Through the haze, a storm brews—a familiar voice, raw with fury, cuts through the silence: 'Where the fuck is my wife?' The yell echoes, then fades into a charged stillness.
