It started as a nosebleed. I felt the familiar sensation of blood trickling towards the opening of my nose and reached for a tissue. I wiped it and it came again, more intense. Another tissue. More blood. It became more intense, like a crack in an aquarium. The blood came spilling slow at first but was rapidly growing bigger and bigger, the crack being torn wider by the pressure. I began to panic as I grabbed the entire tissue box. The thumping of my heart only driving the tear wider. And that's when I tasted it. I could feel the tear working its way down my throat. I screamed, the sound drowned out by my sudden coughing and spluttering as the blood filled my throat, now coating the floor and my hands. I doubled over, breathing deeply as the pain surged through me. Tears tried to form in my eyes but all that grew in my eyes and dripped down my cheeks was blood. I grew weak as I could feel the tear working its way down my body, like a serpent trying to claw its way to my stomach. As it grew close the world faded away and all was silent.
