In the Blink of an Eye

Prologue

 For people like me, every waking moment is a struggle. Every crucial second is another second I am living in pain. I wake up every morning wishing this was all a dream and that everything will be back to normal when I get up. I wake up hoping my life isn't as bad as it was the night before. However, there is a split second in the morning, when I feel relaxed. When I feel like everything is normal. When it feels like it used to a few months ago, before the worst night of my life.

For people like me, every excruciating day that passes makes living next to impossible. Every agonizing memory comes rushing back all at once and makes every current moment just as bad. Days and weeks go by without any luck of getting better. All I can ever think about is how I just wish I could go back and change everything that happened. I would do anything to make this feeling of anguish and grief disappear for good.

For people like you to understand people like us, I should go back to the incident that has taken all of our lives. The details are different for everyone, but the pain is the same. But first, I want you to think about the worst thing that has happened to you. The one event that changed your life. Once you have it, then be prepared to read our story. I call it, "In the Blink of an Eye".
