** My heart starts to squeeze in my chest, emptying me. **

** Lines of fire burn at my flesh, I shut my eyes.**

**I rub my arm...**

**up and ****up and******

** down **

** down **

****

** I focus on that. **

****

** Slowly, my chest feels ****ˡ****ᶦᵍ****ʰ****ᵗᵉʳ****** **and my arms feel as if they were ****_wittled _****on.**
