@dptysns / "oh thank god, you're breathing."
When he had closed his eyes, it was dark and damp, but now it seemed hard to open his eyes again because of the brightness. What had happened? Was it all a trick? Nope, the pain came back, and he could taste blood in his mouth, but somehow he was still alive. He had been convinced he wasn’t making it out of those sewers alive, but now he was looking up at his brother’s face.
Eddie coughed, tasting more of his blood, and just his body shaking in that way caused more pain to shoot through him. It felt like he was.. more lively than before? Maybe not more lively, but not as close to death as he had felt before.
They were in a car (who’s, he didn’t know but it probably didn’t matter at that point), assuming going to a hospital. “Was I not?” he finally managed to ask. Maybe he should just keep talking, keep his focus on something.
