Help me! Save me. I can hear my mother begging me to wake up. But I can't. I don't know how anymore. The last things I remember are a bright light flashing through my eyes, the fading laughter, and the increasing screams. How long have I been in this dark place? I feel warm but cold.
It's like a long journey to nowhere. I'm trying to find that brick road, but I find myself in a field of flowers. Everything is beautiful, but I'm alone. Somebody please! Take my hand and pull me out of this solitude.
A beeping sound. I hear it again, then it stops. The same voice repeats in my head. My mom's cry, my dad's heavy breaths as he holds back his cries, and some strange voices. But now, everything seems quiet. Like I’m left alone to leave. I don’t want to go!
Another beeping sound echoes in my ear, but I lose hope. It'll be gone again soon. It always does. Suddenly, a gush of strange warmth envelops me. Please! I pray when somebody holds my hand. My mom? My dad? It is the first time I feel this way since seeing the flashing lights.
“Don’t worry,” a deep voice whispers through my ears. My heart jolts, and the beeping sound almost wakes me. Once again, I lost hope that it meant something. The warmth in my heart disappears as something slips away from my hand. "I'll take care of your heart."
No! Wait! I can see myself screaming, but why doesn’t anyone hear me? I’ll take care of your heart. And for the first time in a long time, I hear a loud thumping sound. Deafening. Waking me. Forcing me to find the way to a different light. Then the beeping sound grows louder, overshadowing my fast heartbeat.
Then, there it goes again, a warm feeling coming from my hand. Please. Pull me out of here, I scream in my head. Let the beeping stop and calm my heart. Then, everything stopped.
