Asphyxiation by Jessenia Vasquez
Location
All I remember is the black darkness before I fell into a drug induced sleep
Minutes, hours, maybe days later
I wake up feeling lost
I’m laying on the hard ground and I feel the cold pressed up against my numbing body
I get myself up and begin to wander into the chill of the night air
I feel someone watching me and begin to move faster
The sun is rising and I try to find my way to someone, something, anything
The sky is thick with fog- far too dense for me to see just past what was in front of me
I hear footsteps around me
I can feel someone following me
I turn and look in all directions but see no one
I’m desperate to find a way out but the air around me was suffocating me- trapping me inside of box
Asphyxiation
I feel them closing in on me
I find my way out of the trees and onto a road
I look ahead of me and see a light
just as I start to walk towards it I feel a jolt of pain
and then
Darkness again
