Boy gone gone

Green dots, red dots, blue dots. His vision was checkered and blurry. He blinked. The dots were still on his vision, they moved as his eyes moved, as if he had a pair of glasses over his eyes. "Lots of colorful dots overlaid over my vision, this is not right," he shouted.

A nurse attending a nearby bed rushed to him. "Hi, you're up! How do you feel? Can you move all your limbs? Does it pain anywhere? I can give your medications if there's any trouble tell me," she sad hurriedly.

"There's something like colored plastic over my eyes, I can see tiny dots on everything and the dots are moving with my eyes," he said still moving his to the left and then to the right as if to leave the dots behind.

"Ah yes, the doctor said they're for calibration, they're remove then next week, they're for you to get used the the image overlays over your eyes. First it's static dots, then the dots move at your control, then they're going to make them disappear and appear at your control, it's a gradual process, okay, don't be alarmed, " she said, smiling.

"Why do I need an image overlay in front of my eyes" he said.

"Ohh, about that. Do you remember anything about how you ended up here," she said.

He raised his brows. Come to it, he had become so distracted by his vision issues he had forgotten to attend to a more basic issue, which was him being in the hospital. He couldn't remember anything about he had ended up in the hospital. He tried remembering the last thing before waking up, but he couldn't. He thought about it until his head hurt, he got nowhere. He didn't remember anything about anything. Who he was, what he liked doing, why he was there, who had brought him, who he lived with. Nothing. His eyes welled up. The nurse attended two patients, and walked backed to him with some urgency as she saw him cry.

"It happens. You can't remember anything right? It'll come back to you eventually with proper medication and treatment. You can think the reason you're here is because you lost all your memory. I'm not clear about the details myself, they've told me to let you know a specialist will be here to orient you to your new circumstances Until then don't worry about it too much alright? We know what's happening with you and we're taking of you. You can trust us," she said with a big bright smile on her face as she left the room.
