It was terrifying
The panic
The shaking hands
The ragged breaths
The inability to breathe
Lying there
Unable to stay still
Unable to move
I couldn’t talk
I couldn’t breathe
I couldn’t….
Shouts
Lights flashing before my eyes
Worried brown eyes above me
I think I heard my name
More shouts
Running feet
Something in my hands
A tube
More anxious eyes
Ragged breaths
Raa gg gged bre aath ss
Fumbling with the tube
Shaking hands opened the mechanism
It was a chamber
It was an inhaler
Open the cap
Stick it in the chamber
Squeeze
Breathe…
Breathe!
The bright lights in my eyes cleared
Sucking in the air
Like a drug
Falling forward
Into waiting arms
Tears leaking out
Soft murmurs
“It’s okay”
“You’re okay”
Breathing
New
Breaths
