Chapter 14

Reggy

M y eyes slowly opened, but I could not see shit. Was I dead? I didn’t feel dead, but do you feel dead when you are? I didn’t know where my thoughts were exactly as far as what people did when they were dead, but I didn’t think it was this. Maybe I was in a coma. I guess this might be a fever dream, although if it was, I was severely let down. I didn’t remember getting sick, but if this darkness was from an uncontrolled temperature, I always figured I would see purple elephants or at least something incredibly cool like a rainbow raccoon.

I tried to pull air into my body, but it was incredibly hard to breathe in this heat. It was so hot in here that you could almost feel the humidity. Nothing stuck out as much as the distinct smell of…I couldn’t put my finger on the scent. What was that smell? Motor oil? I didn’t think heaven or hell would smell like this, but what did I know. Pretty sure the former wouldn’t, but the latter…who knew.
