Playing Pretend

I fell and just kept falling. Falling, falling until I could fall no more. 


Then I hit the ground. The hard, cold ground. 


It was throbbing. Throbbing, punching, waiting, kicking, hitting, bumping against my skull. 


I saw blurry shapes, blurry images, and blurry figures. 


Then, black. So much black. So much silence. 


Now everything is muffled, and I feel my consciousness fleeting before me. I can’t keep my eyes open.
