The interrogation room fell quiet as I pondered over the terrorizing memory. I could feel the cold sweat trickling down the side of my head, my hands turning ice cold and my breath hitching in my throat. I choked on a sob and bit my tongue.

Life can be the most unpredictable when you're at your happiest. One moment, you're unaware of the world and its people as you finally own up to your feelings for the person you love, the next moment you're hunched over his body as he bleeds through his shirt - gunshot to the chest, and before you even know it, he's on a stretcher, rushing through the gates of a place you never thought you'd be in for a long time.
