Thorns. My blood red as it falls to the floor. Choking, can’t breathe. Children’s laughter, a haunting lullaby. Colors swirl around; red. Black. White. Thorns creep closer, consuming me slowly. Blood dripping steadily to the white washed floors. Higher and higher they creep, cutting, slashing. The blood falls, the darkness crawls. Black. White dots, red blood. The thorns creep ever higher engulfing my legs, my stomach. They rip at my inside, savage. Drip, drip, drip, red on white. The thorns wrap around my neck, eating me alive. Choking, constricting. Higher and higher, into my mouth. Unvoiced screams, blood dripping. Silence. Black. Death.
