I wanted to scream I wanted to tap my snowether again, and if not, tell hi I’d been through, physically and eth to hold on

I only re excitedly, everywhere An ambulance ride to a nearby hospital, where the siren was not only strange and foreign to

Once there, there was the flash of a hundred cah clean, clinical hallways and placed in a large white rooe hands cut through the shredded fabric of ave me fresh linens The cute little ski outfit I’d put on happily alown

Only then did I realize vaguely there was an IV already in my arm

I drifted Maybe off to sleep, or maybe just semi-consciousness Either way, ti in my IV Maybe, maybe, maybe…

Maybe you’ll never see theain

And yet they’re not even here

I drifted off for a second ti even more aware The room was empty It was silent too, except for some low voices Except for…

SSSSSWISH!
