Breathe!

Her eyes frantically searched the darkness while her mind screamed at her body to breathe. Her heart was hammering in her chest, and she felt her face go hot and cold at the same time.

She mouthed words, trying to scream for help, but there was nothing in her to push words out. Panicked, she fought to live, but it was a silent, motionless fight waged only in her mind.

She was losing consciousness. Anger and frustration filled her, followed by absolute fear.

She did not want to die.

“I’m coming, Seven!” The voice came from a distance. “Hold on!”

The sounds of clicks echoed wildly off the walls as Doctor Gretkora ran into the room, the yellow light of a lantern mixing with the red and purple lights flashing from his chest panel.

“Don’t panic! I’ll have you hooked up in a second.”

She heard him through a tunnel, his words muffled. She tried to hold on, to wait for the swishing sounds to return, for air to fill her lungs, but the seconds stretched too long. She slipped down the tunnel, leaving the clicks behind.
