THE ODDS (Debbie Does ALS)


3.06.2008

I closed my eyes tonight, during a peaceful moment. I was right on the edge of sleep and gave into the drowsiness.

I dreamt I jumped into a pool and went all the way down to the bottom, planting myself somehow. Inhaling deeply my lungs filled with water.

As I came out of this little doze, I tried to imagine how it would feel to breathe in water. I couldn't, really. But it scared me to think of it. I didn't feel so peaceful after I was fully awake.
