I’d been shot in the head. There was a weird metallic taste in my mouth and it felt thick and heavy. I thought I could feel the bullet in my mouth but it couldn’t have been. My head, the heat, the pain, it was torturous and I was finding it hard to breathe in. It was a relief to breathe out but such a struggle to breathe in and I could hear myself rattle. Why was I rattling? Things started to go dark, and then quiet.
