In Excitatio

Principium

The taste of blood brings me back to reality. I open my eyes. I find myself in a state of paralysis. The only thing I am able to move are my eyes. I glance to the left of me. Staring directly at me with lifeless eyes is my mother. To the right, my father. Both are stained with crimson red. And then there's me. I am soaked in my own blood. The wound on my abdomen finally wakes up and releases its fury. I try to scream, but only a squeak will come out. As quickly as I gained consciousness, it fades away just as quickly.

"She's losing too much blood! We need to perform a transfusion now." A group of doctors struggle to save the life of eighteen-year-old Evelyn Smith. "Her body is rejecting the transfusion. We've tried every sample of AB negative we could obtain. We need to act quickly, or we'll lose her." The doctors looked eye to eye, then to the man patiently waiting outside. A doctor rushed out. "Sir, are you by any chance AB negative?" He nodded. Without the doctor's consent, he let himself into the operating room. The doctor proceeded to apply a tourniquet to his arm and take some of his blood. Paying no mind to him, the doctors began the process of performing another transfusion. To the doctors' astonishment, Evelyn's body happily accepted the blood the man had left behind. Before the doctors could thank the man, he was gone.
