I wake up to a blur, my body aces and all I can feel is pain. Its dark but I can feel the jagged metal that entraps me. Suddenly I hear a scream. I want to scream myself, what have I done, the screaming stops, and for a short moment everything is quite, but it is soon replaced with the sounds of sirens. I need to get out, they can’t find me here, they can’t find out what I have done. But I am traped and unable to move, forced to sit and wait.        

I can feel a warm stream slowly making its way down my forehead falling into my eye; I try to blink it away, and the liquid is so thick, and stings so I shut my eyes tight and try to lay still, more panic rises in my chest as the sirens close in.

“I got something over here” I suddenatly hear a voice “Someone get me a kit,” he shouts, and then he turns to me and in a much softer voice says “Miss can you hear me.” I nod just the slightest “don’t worry everything’s going to be ok, were going to get you out, alright.” He takes a look at my cage and yells again “and get a fireman, were going to need the jaws.” “Miss can you tell me your name?” I know I should have answered, such a simple question, but when he asked me I couldn’t remember anymore. And it hurt to think. So I just layed still and kept quiet. “I said I need a trauma kit now!”

We need to get her out now or were going to lose the legs”

The many voices around me are all at once swallowed by the piercing sound of grinding metal; the unbearable pressure is slowly relived, only to be replaced by intense pain. As my legs become free the pain is unbearable and I can’t help but scream, the faces around me start to blur, and everything goes black.

I wake to a sharp pain in my arm, a poke of a needle; the lights in the ambulance are very bright that it takes awhile for my eyes to adjust. Sound come rushing back and I lifed my head slightly to see paramedics frantically working on someone else, everyone’s yelling at one another “ We got to slow the blood flow,” I over hear one say “ I need an IV drip prepped” another one says, trying to be heard over the other voices. So much is happening, everything is so confusing. How could I of been so stupid.
