The snap

Its cold. Is it? Im cold
Im shaking, shadows moving lights blurred
Light? No wrong no lights. Its late
Where am i? Home. No. Yes? No, not home.
I hear a fan. Whirling, twirling, cold.
Hands, i think. I'm fuzzy, as though i was static on a tv. Blurred edges and slurred minds.
Why am i fuzzy, where am i?
Hands. Grabbing
Prodding
Moving
Not mine not my hands not my
Dad. Where is he? What's going on
Emily is gone
Hanna is gone
Noe is gone
Is he gone too? No wrong so very wrong
Cotton mouth filled with cotton
Warm cotton
Solid cotton?
Not cotton.
Cold
Warm, pain
Pain?
Puncture pop pact pained
Pill?
Snap.
The fan, cold, cant sleep, gary, offering, the pill. I took the pill
Im faided fuzzy funny
Stop concentrate
What am i?
Raped.
Where am i?
His room. The fan whirling whistling whimpering
Focus.
Position? Compromised
Dad? Nude.
Me? Cold.
Move. Think. Focus, analyze personalize punctual
Stop.
Assessment. I've moved.
Door? Locked.
Shower? Running?
Gary? snapped.
He has snapped
Dad snapped.
Im snapped
My mind snapped.
My life has been snapped in half.
No.
My life is intact.
Move on, move forward.
Don't snap
Stay strong.
The future is still here
Move along.
Don't snap.
