Fear and numbness is what I felt that summer day. The bright sunlight comming through the window filling the living room. On the blue couch in a panic i crushed the pillow in my arms. “I don’t want to fall asleep!” i kept reapeating my slef as i rocked myself on the couch. My mom asked, “Why don’t you want to fall asleep?” In a fearfull voice i replied back to her, “I don’t want to fall asleep again because i’m gonna die!” Thinking back to it i was probably having a seizure. A loud pop came from the kitchen like a quark being released from a wine bottle. My mother and sister rushed into the kitchen to see what happened. everything was soaked and water was everywhere. the pipe to the kitchen sink had burst and flooded part of our kitchen. my sister and my mother worked on the pipe and tried to aid me in my attack. honestly i didn’t know what was going on around me. It seemed time had slowed down. it felt like seconds to me for the paramedics to arrrive and try talking to me. trying to walk down the dark bown matted carpet stairs to the cold garage. In the back of the blue SAAB I seemed to have blacked out partly on the way to the hospital. The next thing i know i woke up on a cold table in luthern hospital. around in a semi circle there were doctors talking. Darkness covered my eyes and i was gone. the darkness faded and i saw my body in a hospitial bed with my mother and sister mourning over the bed. when i open my eyes a strange man’s face was in mine. i was motionless and time i felt returning to me. The world was back and i wasn’t dead. I was lying in a bed in a crowed room down at childerns’ hospital.
