"Live, little girl, live."

She grasped tenuously at the line between life and death, with the madman pushing her one way and her aching body another. 

It was a strange place, at once loud and quiet. A cacophony of gulls and waves, but devoid of all other music to her ears.

In her mind, he did not cease—

you are alive you are alive you are alive hahaha you live you live i've made you live and you will do as i say and say as i do and do as i say and say you are alive and you live and he's gone and they're 

gone and you live and you're alive and you hunger and thirst and hurt and 

cry but alive you are alive you are alive you are alive you are alive you are alive you are alive

Head on her paws. Eyes closed. Dead to herself but alive to the world.
