*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
I woke up to a steady beeping. It was dark but I knew that I was alive because I could feel a small body lying nuzzled into my side holding a teddy-bear sleeping soundly. A put one arm around the small body of my brother and fell asleep.
The light was bright when I woke up the next morning. There was also a faint smell of warm coffee lingering in the room. My mother and brother were sitting in plastic chairs smiling as they talked to each other. And my younger brother was sitting on my bed playing with Power Rangers and his Teddy.
Me,(Chessie) Clara Peters had been trapped in my own head, forgotten who I was, died, had a conversation with God and then come back to my family fully alive. Smiling I sat up in and stretched out my arms towards my family as they noticed I was awake. I couldn’t be any happier.
