The ringing in her ears was all
she  could  hear,  pain splitting
her  mind in two. She knew the
day  was  bound to come when
the  bullet  finally  shifted,   but
she’d  never  imagined it to be
like this…

                  She never imagined that
                  it’d   hurt   so   m  u  c  h .

Tears were coursing down Delia’s cheeks as
she pleaded for Teddy to open her eyes. She
wasn’t ready to lose the only family she had,
the one person who had always believed in
her and loved her unconditionally, no matter
what. No, God wouldn’t be as cruel as to take
b o t h  of her parents away from her. She’d
prayed way too many nights and offered up far
too much in exchange for her mother’s life.

                “Why isn’t she waking up? What’s happening to her?”
                Delia begged the doctors for answers, refusing to go
                anywhere until she learned what she needed to know.
                “You have to save her. Please, you can’t let her die. It
                isn’t time for her to go yet. I haven’t even gotten to say
                g o o d b y e.”

Her   body   no   longer   hers,  Teddy’s  slight
frame  began  convulsing;  nocturnal  demons
had  seized  her  limbs,  and  they  sought   to
steal  her  away  from  her  daughter.  I’m  not
ready,  Teddy  sobbed  silently. I’m not ready
to die. But in that forsaken place between life
and  death, no one would ever hear her voice.

                Delia, I love you. Please, I’m not ready to go.
                Just  let me say  g o o d b y e . God, please,
                she’s my daughter. I can’t die — not like this.
