The Last Stop

I can’t, feel anything,

Where am I?

I can’t see.

Hear,

Move.


What happened to me?

Am I paralyzed?

I was fine a few minutes ago,

So what is this?

Is that, me?


I’m young again,

I’m, reliving memories of my youth,

But, it all happened already,

So why am I seeing them?


Am I, dead?

But I don’t recall dying,

I was on the bus,

Now I’m here.


OW, my head hurts,

Why though?

What’s happening?

What am I doing here?


The last thing I remember,

I was on the bus,

What happened after?

Why can’t I remember?


I was on the bus,

And then,

Then,

A, trailer?

A trailer.


A trailer rammed into the side of the bus,

Right where I was sitting,

Am I, dead?

No, it can’t be,

There’s still so much I need to do,

No.


I can’t die here,

Not here,

She’s waiting for me,

By the window,

I can’t just leave like this.


Stand up,

You’re fine,

Get up,

GET UP.


It’s no use,

I still can’t move,

I don’t want to believe it, but,

I did die,

I really am dead.


I’m sorry Emma,

This is my last stop,

I won’t be coming home,

Take care of our child,


I’ll be watching you from above.
