Chris

Chris [POV]: I hate feeling like this. I feel so useless and helpless. My chest feels so heavy and my ribs feel like they're on fire. I keep thinking to myself, "Why Me?" Why did this have to happen to me? Everything was finally falling into place. Bits and pieces about that day are finally coming back to me. Something didn't feel right about my brakes that day....Did someone try to kill me? Nahhhhh. I'm thinking crazy. Nobody would do that. Well, nobody I know of. There's always someone praying on your downfall. Damn. [shaking his head]
