ANASTASIA

"Hello, miss, are you okay?"

The voice drifted in from a distance, it sounded far away....

Then another, closer this time. "Oh God. I don't think we should keep hoping she'd wake up, call 911..." it was a woman's voice and it tinged with great concern.

"Miss, please wake u-"

"That's it! I'm calling 911."

911 for what? I wondered as my eyes open.

Just as the man's face came into focus, he gasped, "Oh, she's awake!"

I blinked at him. I remembered his face. Back when I waited for the line to reach my turn, he had a bored expression on as he attended to the bank's customers. Now, he was beaming! "Oh thank goodness."

Bank. Omg! I'm at the bank. My deposit.

I tried to rise to a sitting position but the man was immediately by my side, helping me.

"Thank you." My voice came out husky so I cleared my throat.

"Are you okay?" I turned to my side to see all of them hovering around me.

"I'm fine. Thank you."

"Great! Now, can you attend to the rest of us that didn't pass out?"

Some of the people expressed how cruel the man was for not caring if I'd wake up or not.

"What happened?" I asked as someone helped me to my feet and handed me my back.

"The cashier was attending to you when you suddenly fell. We rushed to you and saw that you had passed out."
