I feel him struggle harder to free me, my heart breaking because I know he’ll die here with me if he waits too long. “Leave me,” I whisper. “No! Don’t say that. We’re both getting out of here.” His words become distant as I feel myself drifting, my body giving up. I fight against it, just long enough to mumble what I want my last words to be. “I love you.” It’s then the darkness finally takes me, sucking me into a sweet oblivion of nothing.
