Jingle Jangle

Loving, losing,
Fighting, crying,
smiling, happy,
losing, dying.

I woke to an unpleasant feeling, but I couldn't explain the noise. My head felt like a giant balloon slowly gravitating toward an inanimate pin. As the pin got closer, I felt a sudden burn as if my eye was directly lined up to it but my body was too stiff to move.

Do you ever have those unexplainable dreams, like this one, where something traumatic shakes you awake and leaves you with a claustrophobic feeling? I remember waking to a short breath and my chest pounding harder than a bass drum.

That, was the start of my incurable eye twitch that would attack with no rhyme or reason, catching me off guard and leading me to an untimely death.
