The Day I Died by C.M. Francis
Introduction:
This is a nightmare. The roar of the sirens blares in her ears. Pound, pound, pound… Two paramedics fumble across the ambulance. Screeching in her head, like a hammer, a drill, a bomb.
Pound, pound, pound… A face mask covers her mouth. But she gags and something crawls up through her throat.
Pound, pound, pound. She rips the mask off her face and vomits.
POUND, POUND, POUND. Blood.
POUND, POUND, POUND. A stranger yells at her, but all she hears is the buzzing.
POUND, POUND, POUND! The overhead light glows brighter and brighter.
POUND, POUND, POUND! Her eyes roll backward.
POUND POUND POUN—
