Orphan Luna
“Emma, we’ve been resting for a while. We’ve been dormant. It’s time for you to wake up. I need to rest a little while longer to be there when you’ll need me. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere but I won’t be here when you wake up. I need some time. Now, 1… 2… 3.. Wake up”
Beep… beep… beep. My finger twitches. Claustrophobia sets in, I’m being choked, I’m gagging. Reaching for my mouth, there’s something in my mouth. I have no strength in my hand, I can’t take it out. My eyes won’t open, I’m choking. “Emma honey, it’s me… Grace. Sweetie, please relax. I’ll get this out, I just need you to relax”. I hear her talking to someone else then I go limp again.
