The Deal Breaker

Luckily, he knew what to do in that case. He had only had those attacks about 6 times in his whole life. He was starting to feel short of breath, he was getting desperate, he needed help.

It was horrible. The feeling that you are going to run out of air, completely. His heartbeat was racing and he could feel it hard against his chest.
