My whole body shook with terror.
I sucked in a breath, to appease my gasping knees.
Or tried to.
But my lungs weren't taking oxygen at that time.
Which was a shame, because my heart was already off and racing.
Desperately I tried again, but it was too late.
Too late.

I was ready. I was braced.
The world was going to end, everything was going black.
I saw you then. I saw... You.
But the world was still so wonderfully green.
Isn't that all wrong?
But, oh.
Oh right.
