They are coming. I can hear their feet in the hallway. My Annas! I leap up, opening the door. The Annas are not carrying tanks of oxygen after all. What have they done with them? Their arms are empty, swinging at their sides. Their shoes seem heavy in the silence. Thunderous even. Their faces are stony masks of purpose.

Where are those tanks? I try to peer around them, but their number blocks me. An Anna, one that I can’t name, comes through the door first. Who is she? Anastasia, Alice, Ardys? I know she’s an Anna but I never learned her name. Why didn’t I? She didn’t seem like head girl material. Her face looks frozen. She stares at me coldly as she seizes my tank of oxygen. Rips it from my back, from my clutching fingers. They swarm about me now, like birds waiting to feast. I am whispering into my recorder as I realize this death will not be pain free. Not the calm extinction I expected.

Not at all.
