Sanguine

I woke up to a red red room.
I waited for my vision to adjust to the extreme scarlet of my surroundings, but minutes passed and everything remained blood red before my eyes.
The floor beneath me was cold, granite, the only stability I could sense. I remained on the floor, looking up at the ceiling painted different shades of rouge.
I got up on both feet, unwilling to leave the reassuring immobility of the floor. The walls were damp beneath my touch, but left no trace of wetness on my skin.
A breeze rustled my hair. It puzzled me. There were no windows in this room. There were, however, whispers.
I pressed my ear against the wall. I could vaguely make out the words "Home" and "Dawn". I made my way around the room, never lifting the side of my head off the red walls.
There were more whispers. The north side whispered "Soothe" and "Coming." The south whispered "Done" and "Please," the west "Lullabye" and "Open."
The room started to spin, the redness started to close in on me.
I began to scream.
How did the character awaken to this situation? What happens afterwards? How does your story go?
