haunting

I woke to blood everywhere, and as fear and panic set in - the waves came upon me and I could not breathe. I was captivated by the red covered sheets, red covered thighs and it all happened so fast and felt so real. I could smell the blood, I could feel it's sticky substance all over my tender body. I watched it flow, and cried {sobbed} for what felt like hours. I was then rushed, to walk to the hospital - and I can remember the feeling of absurdity to the process. Why are we going anywhere? Why am I going to expose this vulnerable state of my body to anyone else? and why am I walking? I kept asking questions, as we walked, as I was covered in blood - but no one answered them. It seemed to go on forever, and finally an ambulance came and strapped me in and the women told me to stop crying. "It happens, it isn't something to be upset over - you can always try again" she has said. Nobody had faces either, but I could hear them talking to me. Then, as quickly as it happened, I woke up from the horror and checked my bed and my sheets and in between my legs - and it was dry, and my belly was still full and everything was fine. Everything was fine.
