Destiny
Preface
I know what is happening to me but it doesn't change anything, it doesn't help.
I know that I'm losing a lot of blood from my left arm. I know that this is because I severed the artery as I fell into the cliff face that runs parallel to the path, onto a particularly jagged rock. I know my body is going to shut down soon from the shock. I know the pain will fade with my consciousness.
I know that pressure should be applied to the wound; I know it should be bandaged tightly to restrict my arm from losing too much blood. I know that the dust that rose from my fall onto the dirt path is settling into the wound. I know that Tanya's pacing while she dials 999 is kicking up more dust; I know the stinging pain is the least of my worries.
Because I know Tanya wasn't paying attention to the first aid tutorial DVD. I know, as I sat next to her, she was texting. I know she doesn't know a thing about bandaging and applying pressure or even what the name of the artery I've severed is, despite her being my lab partner in biology for the past five years.
I lie on this red stained dirt path with Tanya talking frantically to someone on the phone – they're probably trying to coach her on how to apply pressure though I know she won't because she's petrified of blood- and the thing I can't help but notice, above the pain, is that this country path is ages away from the school or any houses. I know that when help arrives it will be too late. I know I'm not going to make it.
My vision blurs, my thoughts unravel and my frustration at Tanya's frantic uselessness, and everything else, fades into oblivion. My anger bleeds away. My brain has gone numb and cold. All feeling evaporates under the sun that tries to steal through my eyelids as they droop shut. As the pain subsides and my senses switch off I will a picture of him to the forefront of my hazy mind. He would want to be the last thing I think about.
I realise I want that too.
And then...
