Casualty

A pentina on life in 2020

I am struggling to breathe.

A ventilator is coming upon me.

I am spilling into darkness.

Suddenly I wake up cold.

I cough smelling smoke.

I look around.

I am lying in a pile of corpses.

Waiting for cremation.

I panic.

I realize I did not die of Corona...YET.
