Openings – 2

I woke up and immediately felt dizzy.

Ignoring it, I was just about to get up when I saw you. There you were, intently reading a book.

Then my spasms began. I couldn’t breathe. You then turned to me. Your shining black eyes, your cheeks, your shoulders, and…you smiled.

But you didn’t get up.

I kept thinking, “Why won’t you talk to me?” That very moment, or the next one, I don’t remember exactly, I died.

That’s how you got rid of me.
