Line 14:
Then, just when he begins to push through the excruciating pain, Clayton hears something that chills him to his very core: his doctors are discussing their plans to ''kill him'' by making it look like he received a faulty donor heart. Trapped in his own mind, Clayton futilely screams for help, but to no avail. He's going to die, and there's nothing he can do to stop it.

=== ''Awake'' contains examples of the following: ===
 
* [[Adventures in Coma Land]]: While Clayton's doctors plot his death unaware that he can hear them, Clayton can do nothing but relive his memories that led up to this point, scrutinizing every detail to try to understand what's going on. After the transplant "fails" while he remains hooked to the bypass machine, everything in his dream world grows dimmer and dimmer, until finally fading to pitch black.
* [[And I Must Scream]]: While the anesthetic keeps Clayton totally paralyzed, he can hear every word spoken by his doctors and can feel every cut of Dr. Harper's scalpel.
