I can’t scream

I.

CAN’T.

SCREAM.

My lungs collapse, buckle back

The breath no longer intact 

No reason to continue

Inside

This

[Timepiece hourglass]

WHACK WHACK

I come back

The cartilage snaps

the tissue breaks.

I hear the smackling of a thousand snakes

*sizzle* CRACK!

Little bubbles hissing back

I’m barely awake

Sleeping sounds so

***peaceful***

My jaw now slacked

If only I could scream

I’d live, in fact 

WHAT.

IS.

¿NEXT?
