“Lisa!”
“Hey, Lisa. Wake up!”
“Lisa!”
“You need to wake up. You aren’t breathing!”
I can
barely hear his voice. Nothing seems to be making sense. I have to stay
focused. I am struggling. Struggling to breathe, struggling to think,
struggling to fight the fog that seems to be closing in on my mind.
From a
distance, I hear his voice shout out even louder now, “LISA, WAKE UP! YOU ARE NOT BREATHING!”
He sounds
so desperate. I feel so confused. I hear myself screaming back, “What is going on? What is wrong? I need to figure this out!” Yet, my lips never spoke a word.
I am
fading…. fading in and out of blackness, where nothing - not even myself,
exists. My head fell forward, my body folding into an awkward position.
“LISA, WAKE UP! YOU ARE NOT BREATHING!”
I am
fighting hard to make sense of what I am hearing. Someone is shaking me. From a
far-away place, I hear the words being yelled again, “LISA,
YOU ARE NOT BREATHING!”
My brain was screaming an answer, but
I still wasn’t making a sound. “Oh
my God. Just leave me alone !”
I am
slipping into an unfamiliar place. It’s
so peaceful… comfortable… warm. “Lisa, wake up, you are not. . .” His voice
faded away.
Everything
is dark. Everything is quiet. No more pain! I feel nothing except sweet relief.
I no longer hear his voice.
It’s finally over. I did
it!
