I was about to head inside when a chain of events
was set into motion
that would determine the next few days in the life of Jason Jake
Carter. As I reached for one of the double glass doors, I could hear a
bit of shouting and cursing, and saw that a very large man was being
escorted outside by two security guards. The door I reached for was
flung open with such speed that I had no chance, none whatsoever, to
get out of the way or to take a step back; it contacted me full on my
forehead with a dull twang, a blow so hard that I saw stars. They faded
rapidly as blackness engulfed me, and I hit the ground.

"He's coming to," a female voice spoke, softly. "Where's that doctor?!"
Ouch, lady - not so loud!
"On his way, he should be here shortly. Is he still bleeding?" a male
voice asked.
Pressure on the side of my head temporarily diminished, then returned a
moment later, reapplying pressure. It hurt, and I moaned.
"No. But he's going to have one hell of a headache, that's for sure.
Poor kid."
"Find out who he is..."
The male voice continued, but it didn't register for long as I slipped
back into blackness.
