Crippling hesitance

Rustle!

Leaves?

My body was cold. 

My feet were colder. 

My hands- they were so- tiny?

Blood?

Rain?

Storm?

Lightning?

Why was it so dark?

I didn't know why but my body just kept on getting colder and colder and colder and colder and….

My ears were ringing… 

My body going numb…

I was… dying….

"It's okay!" Someone shouted. 

Someone was here. 

With me.

Holding my hand.

Maybe a boy?

Maybe a girl?

I didn't know. 

I couldn't think. 

Almost as though… I was falling asleep…I was dreaming. 

ARGH!

I woke up. 

What the hell?

'The hell was that?'

"You, okay?" Marg turned on the nightlight. 

The darkness cleared slightly and I could see around me. My head throbbed. 

Marg was holding my hand, looking at me. 

Meanwhile, I was sweating, I was sweating way too much.
