Shattered Machine
My eyes struggle to open
The room tilts, slides in and out of focus
Breath.
Someone calls my name
A cold hand grazes my arm
Get off me
I need to leave
What?
Who is talking? I don't recognize the voice
The floor crumbles beneath my feet
Where are my shoes?
They have my hand now
It's getting harder to breath
I need to leave
I'm only 17
