Mental Strength

Summer's POV

After reaching out to my dad, I just collapse and drift off into unconsciousness.

 I don't know how long I laid here for, but one thing is for sure; None of my family members returned home today. When I wake up, I notice that my clothes have dried. Still, I cannot feel my limbs though. I mentally encourage myself to at least try without just giving up.

 I decide that even if I have no physical strength, I still have my brain intact. I will do this mentally. I still have my mental strength. I know this is a memory. Yes, I might be reliving everything now, but the fact that I overcame then is enough for me.

 I keep telling myself that I can do it. I need to move from the floor. I need to change. I take a whiff of the air and I almost get a mental breakdown! I soiled myself! Literally defecated on myself.

 "No no no Summer, this is not the time to give up. This is reason enough to push yourself to clean up!!"
