Week 185 – A little flicker of an eyelid

Cold.

Tyler was cold.

Freezing.

Wet.

He felt wet as well.

There was also pain.

Pain so strong it stole his ability to breathe.

Weeping.

He could hear someone crying.

Macey.

It was Macey.

Her tears cut through the pain and he tried to reassure her that everything would be okay.

A little flicker of an eyelid.

A tiny wriggle of a finger.

That was all he could manage.

Tyler had the feeling he was floating and then a moment later he was looking down at himself lying on his bedroom floor surrounded by a pool of blood.

Macey was on her knees beside him, sobbing as she begged him to wake up.

He wanted to.

He didn’t want to leave her.

But something was pulling him further and further away and he didn’t know how to stop it.
