Dead or not dead? As I struggled to get a short breath out I asked myself the question, everyone quivers to answer.

My legs were numb and I was stuck beneth the broken branchs.Was this the end?

I always dremnt myself dying at the age of 100 not 10. My heart was racing as fast as cheatah going full speed.I was going dizzy. My eyesight went fuzzy and I blacked out....

I woke up to find myself tangled between thousands of cords and to hear faint voices. I peeked out a slight smile, but the pain was hard to live.

As I am still not sure, I sometimes ask if I am Dead or not dead?
