The Fragments I Catch of Dying Memories
3. You're Alive

'Your eyes look like someone painted them with watercolours, and you're so limp on that gurney. I'm touching you, grabbing your shoulders, and there's not even a twitch. You'd jump a mile if I grabbed you like that in the Digital World – but this isn't the Digital World, where rebirth follows.

My heart plummets; it hits me then, that you could really be –

Nothing can stop me desperately shaking you, screaming, crying – nothing, unless you sit up and tell me you're fine…

Except you're suddenly staring at me, eyes watering, and saying my name, and I still can't stop crying.'
