"Fading"
by jamy96
My eyes are wide open, but my vision is blurry. I see bodies walking past me as I kick and sway my arms and legs back and forth but nothing. I scream, hoping that it grabs someone’s attention, but nothing comes out besides bubbles. I’m trying my best to find help, but I can’t, everyone is too busy living and enjoying time. My insides begin to clinch all together being suck into the center of my stomach. I can feel myself losing the fight, my face going numb and my conscience telling me to let go. Why should I fight something that is stronger than me? why would I think I can win when its bigger than me? I look up just one more time to see if someone will look at me and save me…no one in sight. I listen to my conscience and just let go my mouth opens and everything is going inside me, my whole body is being filled with it all. At first, I feel pressure and my breathing is cutting, it hurts but its bearable. As I look up I see someone looking me, finally. I’ve been noticed, they’re coming for me. I try to meet them halfway, but I can’t move because I can’t feel my body, I’m numb. The closer they are getting the more I fade away. Their so close to me yet so far. I begin to think to myself, whether they catch me in time or not, by the time we get out of here ill be gone for sure, so what’s the point in being saved? They think I still have a chance as they grab me because my eyes are wide open, but little do they know my vision is gone.

As I was reading I tried to figure out if this was a mental or a physical thing. I sorta felt like I was watching Criminal Minds. The speaker seems like she got captured by one of those crazies who have restricted her from talking to people on the outside. But then as I thought more I saw where you put that she was fading away. Then I thought maybe she wants to be saved mentally but just can’t be. I like this. Needs some revision as far as grammar, but good.
