When I reach for the cold faucet, I feel the tingling creep up from my right hand, through my arm and into my chest. My chest. It tightens, as if a giant is crushing me with his fingers. A stabbing pain in my plexus. My lungs are paralyzed, my jaw locks, and I’m short of breath. I try to stay calm and think about calling the doorman, the police. What’s Celeste’s phone number? 97… 9756… 753… 75… I try to remember. I get out of the shower holding onto the curtain, the plastic can’t take my weight, and I kiss the canvas. I feel better than I did standing up. Lie down, put your legs up. The floor’s cold as hell. Another stabbing pain, I don’t believe it. Relax, lion. God, I can’t see a thing. Cough, I heard on TV that you have to cough if you think you’re having a heart attack. I’m having a heart attack. I can’t cough if I’m asphyxiating like this.

I need to find Carlos. He’ll come with his son… what’s his name? It doesn’t matter. Carlos will drag me to a taxi, take me to an ER… Where’s my cell? I left it in the living room. I’m screwed. I’m not getting up from here. My heart’s going to leap out of my mouth. Here it comes, here it comes… here it comes… there… it goes.
