My eyelids opened ponderously, millimetre by millimetre my existence dawned, the world flicked into technicolour being. All around me serious looking men rushed around what appeared to be a laboratory of sorts, except that all the laboratories I knew were white, clean, and packed to the rafters with fancy equipment. This one was as black as soot, with rusty metallic benches, a high industrial ceiling, and a background glow of neon blue light, which seemed to crackle and spit. The emotion should have been excitement, glee, even ecstasy perhaps, but all of this was overwhelmed by the fear of the unknown.
Waking up from death isn't all it's cracked up to be.
"Hello", I said. I spent a few moments trying to think of something momentus to say, a pithy quote maybe, or a witty catchphrase, but the grey matter was on holiday it seemed.
No sound, nothing, not a pip, not a whisper. This was worrying, but more worrying still I had no sensation that my lips had moved. Panic now started to rise, I felt my head begin to flush with blood, my heart began thumpng out a chaotic rhythm. How about trying to look down? No response. How about blinking. Nothing.
One of the serious looking men approached me, he looked friendly and careworn. My mind raced backwards and came up with images of my youth, of my father. Judging a book by it's cover seemed perfectly reasonable right now, and I judged that this man meant me no harm.
"Turn on the laser-scalpel", the man said, looking directly into my eyes with a look of pity so powerful that I instantly broke into uncontrolled screaming. Except that nothing came out. And then the pain started. But compared to that look, the physical pain seemed like nothing more than a distraction.
I felt fingers pushing my eyelids, closing them and although I resisted with all my might I may as well have been trying to stop the planet rotating. Now all I had was the darkness, and the image of that mans face etched into my minds eye for the rest of my mercifully short life.

Drogo's going to Hungry, you're going to Malta, does't anyone just stay home because they never ever ever get to go anywhere so they end up surly and unpleasant with two cats and some guy who keeps coming round seeing if he can fuck you? Because if anyone does, then they'd know how fun it is to look forward to changing the toilet paper roll and yelling at the bastard kid who keeps fucking with people's mailboxes. Travel, who needs it? Especially when your new digital SLR professional camera has been hijacked by your own parents who fuck off every other month or so (thank fucking god for that) and go on fabulous trips whilst you stay home and mow their lawn for them.
Good morning all. I've got a headache. I should probably do something about that.

my greatest fear is being alone and never having a girlfriend, pottering about my lonely, completely devoid of human interaction abode (except for the times my kids aren't para-sailing cococabana beach and/or skiing whistler with my ex-wife and her fabulously rich queens-counsel boyfriend), and eating nachos every second meal because the girlfriend I will never have isn't here to make me something more substantial, or to do my ironing.
oh, wait.
okay I'll have to start being afraid of something else i guess

All Good mate. Half day today then week off. Going to sod off to Hungary as I know nothing about it other than they seem to produce rather attractive young ladies who have a penchant for getting into the pron Industry. Of course the inflatable lady thinks that we are going over there to look at the culture, like going to look at St. Stephen's Basilica. Pah culture boo!!! Boobies YAY!!!

Yeah I guess you are right there my little chum. But i love the feeling as you tap away and giggle to yourself then press submit and then you get that little burning sensation that screams 'WHY oh WHY! did you submit that?' it's fun.
How's your day so far chap?

i always think its cruel when the anaesthetists pretend to be really interested in what your saying, just before they put you to sleep. frauds, the lot of them.

No, waking up during surgery should definitely be on your not to do list.
Of course you have no control over it. Very tricky. Too much anesthesia and you die, not enough or if you're one of those people who don't respond to anesthesia like everyone else, and you might wake up.
I probably shouldn't tell you these things.

AHHHH! My worst fear would involve being trapped at an Ubercon, unable to escape.
The horror. The horror.

orginally the first one fg, then I thought I would just leave it to interpretation.
waking up during surgery would be one of my biggest fears

I saw this two ways. Is the person actually dead but the soul is still trapped in the body and the man is performing an autopsy?
Or did the guy wake up during surgery because that can happen.

just a fear, nothing rational about it, i guess what im asking uber is, what is your greatest fear?

Yeah. Um. Well. Yeah. Ok I guess.
I mean, what just happened there? Your protaganist woke from the dead only to be killed again? Who does that? I mean, what's the point? They woke him up in a crap labratory just so they could cut him open and murderize him again? Doesn't that seem sort of redundant? I mean, unless they just wanted to torture the guy. That's plausible I suppose, but again, seems pointless. I mean, he's dead already? Right? Or did I misread that?
Yeah. Um. Well. Yeah. Ok I guess.
