May 7th, 2018

The sound of her screams woke me up.

As I blinked my eyes and glanced at the time,

It was 4:15 and I wondered if it was all a dream.

She yelled again, my name clear and concise.

So I grabbed my phone and ran up the stairs.

Squinting as I’m harshly greeted by all the light,

Her screams vibrating through the house.

I looked around at the alarming sight,

All the lights turned on and the door wide open.

I ran up the next flight, my fears creeping in.

As I rounded the corner and approached their room,

My heart sank into my stomach.

I watched her rhythmically push on his chest

And heard the voice on the phone confirm the nightmare.

Back down the stairs I went

I opened the door to hear the sirens

And directed the traffic to his body.

I followed them up and grabbed her arm as they began to work.

Time stood still as we made the calls,

And before I knew it an hour had passed.

The detective sat down to deliver the news

But she already knew the truth.

My hands went cold and my body went numb

As I realized that my worst fears just came true.
