Although it was over one hundred degrees outside and more than half of that in my house I felt an icy chill run down my spine which made me shiver. I took a tiny sip of water and as it flowed down my throat, I felt great pain when I swallowed. It hurt to move my neck. And it felt like some one was taking a hammer to my head and hitting it. I drew in a deep breath. I felt much pain in many ways. I held out my hands and could barley keep them still, not because I trembled with just fear but I was extremely cold. I slowly brought my hand up to my cheek. And I could barely take the frigidness of my fingers when they just barley touched my cheek. I drew back as quickly as I could. A light moan came from within me.
I sat in my chair, curled up in a ball, tightly hugging my knees. It’s the only thing I could do without being afflicted pain upon. I shut my eyes tightly. All I could do was just sit there and sit there. I sat like a statue trying not to move on bit. But I did feel pain at any slight movement, even breathing, which felt like hardly any oxygen was getting to my struggling lungs.
And all I did was just sit in that chair. None of these horrible feelings went away.
And I never opened my eyes again.
