Am I Dying?

Feng Xuan was awakened by the pain on the top of her head. She tried to wipe her eyes but her hands landed on something thick and sticky on her skin, it matted her hair and turned them in clumps. Her eyes were already open but everything was blurry. She could see that it was morning—or afternoon. There was light still and when her vision slowly cleared, she saw that her hands were in deep red color, almost brown—

Her chest tightened and her hands shook. She turned to the side and saw her mother. Her normally white face pale as a chalk. She gave an alarmed whimper as she saw the blood coming from her head. She shook her. "Mom."

There was no response. She touched the shoulder tighter and harder. "Mom!"

No response.

She was about to cry in distress, thinking her mother had died. But she saw the slight rising and falling of her mother's bloody chest. It was almost non-existent. The blood had dripped on her collar and pooled in a red-black shape.
