Alive?

Pinned down

Fear emanating

Scared

So scared

Hands wrapped around my throat

I'm going to die

Eyes roll back

The world goes black

Did you see?

Life slowly draining from me

Bright light again

Angry eyes

Scared

So scared

*BOOM

Fist to lip

Did it really happen?

No pain

Why no pain?

Choking

Why am I choking?

Tastes so different

Spit

Crimson fountain

Numb

Everything's numb

Arms about to break

Can't take his weight

Can't breathe

No pain

Weight lifted

Back to reality

Survival

He's disoriented

Glance -phone -keys

Run!

Footsteps close behind

No time

Front door

Too far

Bathroom! -lock

Hinges move

Wood splinters and breaks

Matter of time

God help me

I'm going to die here

In a goddamn bathroom!

Heather -God -someone

He's in

Rage

Clutching me

Feet no longer on the floor

Fear

*BOOM

Body crumples

*BOOM

Crumpled again

Broken

Then....

*BOOM *BOOM *BOOM!

Pray for salvation

Life flashes

Mom -dad -gramma

Say my goodbyes

Wait

What's this?

He's disoriented again

Survival

Car -escape

Engine starts

Where do I go?

Phone rings

Shadow of a shotgun

Accept my fate

I stand alone

Peace

Such peace

NO BOOM

Left standing

Alive

Soulless

Dead inside

Alive?
