My Pretty Dirty Kitten
The harder I try, the heavier my eyelids become, dragging shut against my will.
Just as I begin to enjoy being in the darkness, a sudden light nearly blinds me.
It hits my eyes so hard I gasp, pain blooming behind them. For a split second, I cannot see anything at all.
Am I dead?
Am I going to heaven?
I nearly scoff at the thought, a person like me won't be permitted into the gates of heaven.
“Gia!”
A voice cuts through the haze, distant and distorted, like it is coming from underwater.
I try to respond, but my lips will not move.
