Creative Writing "Confirmation Number"

When the worker scanned my ticket, the machine beeped and blared piercingly.

"Sir, I believe there's an error on your ticket.  The confirmation number doesn't match with our files.  Could you please wait to the side?"  As the last passenger walked through the gate, a courier delivered a manila folder.  The worker paged through quickly and found what he was looking for.

"Just as I suspected; there was a clerical error.  It happens more often than you would think.  I apologize for the mistake," the worker explained as he ripped the ticket in half, and a bright light blinded me.  I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in a hospital bed surrounded by doctors and nurses relieved to see me awake.  It only lasted a few seconds, as the sound of a machine beeped and blared piercingly from the next bed over.
