Sigh... I've been living the same boring daily routine today too.

Waking up, eating, working, coming home, sleeping... it just repeats over and over.

Then, a thought occurred to me today.

Let's take a break.

So I woke up the next morning and packed my bags for a trip.

"How long has it been since my last trip?" I muttered to myself as I got into the car and started the engine.

But... I wasn't feeling very well today.

I didn't know why, but I tried to focus on driving with the mindset of just getting there...

I was supposed to turn left... but I made a mistake and turned right, and then...

I crashed right into a signpost.

The car was so old that the airbags didn't even deploy.

You can guess the rest, right? My arm was badly injured. Fortunately, someone called 911, and I was hospitalized.

When I regained consciousness and opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room, lying on a bed. A woman was standing next to me. She was... quite pretty.

Wait, that's not what's important right now...! I saw glass shards embedded in my arm, and suddenly, a wave of intense pain hit me.

It's like how a paper cut doesn't hurt until you actually see the wound... then it starts throbbing.

In the midst of that, the nurse looked at me with concern.
