the horrific smell of unwashed bodies came over me‚ almost making me choke in disgust. It was rather humid and I was finding it increasingly difficult to suck the oxygen into my body. I was suffocating like a fish out of water‚ labouring with every breath. The walls‚ the ceiling and the floor were all the same dull colour. My hospital room was small.
