Fluffy White Clouds of Popcorn

He opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling of wood. The wooden panels were beginning to rot & the wood had holes where sunlight would peek through. He felt a little sick & when he got up to look around he was terribly off balance. But he felt fine, no fever, no headache. Maybe it wasn’t him seemed to be tilting back & forth, to & fro. As if it were a boat on a sea of rocky waves. After managing to stay upright for a few steps he finally made it to the door. Again it was made of slightly rotten wood that squeaked when it opened.
