201 - Talk about something you lost.

I lost my life. Literally.

Do you know what it feels like to die? It’s frakking scary, that’s for sure. Even now, I look back at it and try to remember everything that happened before I woke up in the resurrection tank, but I’m not sure I’ve got all the details just right.

Yes, I lost my life as in the life that I used to lead, but I died. I was shot by a crewmember. I remember the shackles. I remember the screams and taunts that were thrown at me as I was led to someplace else.

I remember that I had saved Chief’s life and ironically, I was losing mine immediately afterwards.

Do you know what it really feels like, though? There’s shock. You almost don’t really feel the pain at first as it tears away your skin, the bullet penetrating tissue and then all you really see is the blood.

So much blood.

( A single piece of lead took everything away from me )

Drop, drop, drop.

But life isn’t the only thing you lose. You lose your dignity, too. People would say it doesn’t matter in the end, except if you’re a toaster, it does. Trust me. I might have lost my life in the physical sense, but I lost it in terms of everything else, too. It doesn’t really matter, though, when the numbness takes over and you choke out a few last words.

Then everything goes dark…
