A blinding light shines before my eyes then disappears, leaving me surrounded by a black abyss.
It's blank, dark, cold... So cold.

I breathe slowly, ragged breaths barley filling my lungs.

My heart beats wildly.
It's the only sound I can hear.

Da Dum! Da Dum! Da Dum!

I can feel it to, every single pound in my chest.
It pumps loudly, struggling to flow oxygen through me.
But it doesn't give up. It keeps beating.

Da Dum! Da Dum! Da Dum!

It fights for my mum.
It fights for my dad.
It fights for my cousin, my auntie, my uncle.
It fights for everyone I love.

I feel a jolt of energy surge through me and I'm suddenly standing in this tunnel.
It's dark and cold.

Another surge of electricity jolts through me and light flashes before my eyes.

It's warm, just like the sun.
I hear voices.

They're calling out to me.

I try to shout back but no one responds.
They keep repeating the same thing.

Again! Again!

Another jolt.
I start to see colour, colours of the rainbow.
Blues, greens, reds, purples.

I surge from the darkness and into the light.
I'm awake, alive.
