The opening of Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny “The thought came to assail me: Maybe not.” “Now, though, I was feeling halfway decent. Every time things would begin to clear a bit, someone would come in and jab me with something. “I recalled nights and nurses and needles. “Then the fogs were slowly broken, and some of that which is called memory returned to me. “I squeezed my eyes shut, and opened them, three times. “I was sprawled there in a hospital bed and my legs were done up in plaster casts, but they were still mine. “I attempted to wriggle my toes, succeeded. “It was starting to end, after what seemed most of eternity to me. And my question is, does this even sound like science fiction? The story opens thusly: Nine Princes in Amber - here’s a great story title - and the very first of Roger Zelazny’s novels that I read.
