The wind whipped tendrils of my hair backwards.

"Ouch," I heard someone say quietly. I turned around to see my boyfriend standing behind me, rubbing his eye which was watering profusely. He smiled at me. "You hit me in the eye with your hair."

"I'm sorry!," I said, giving him a hug.

For a second, he hugged me back.

The next, his body went limp and dropped to the floor. I was shocked but I slowly laid him on the ground, and began to perform CPR like I'd been taught by my father as a safety measure.

Then I realised something.

Everyone else around me........ Had collapsed.

Make what you will of this one. Whether they're dead or just sleeping for some reason or something else, it's up to you. As is if they wake up, where they are, what they're doing, etc.
