In 10 minutes, He will be walking out of this place
and stepping out into a hallway full of people.
In 10 minutes, He is going to overcome every bad
and uncertain emotion that he feels and is going to
take a leap of faith.
In 8 minutes, He's going realize that all his
fears are unnecessary and that he has the
power to be whoever he want to be.
In 6 minutes, He is going to stay inside of this room
Because he is also terrified of what waits outside.
In 5 minutes, He will lay in this bed and He will stare at
the wall, mustering up the courage to walk out that door.
4 minutes later, He never makes it, he hears a long beep, and
He closes his eyes. He feels himself drift up to another world
And all the pain drift away
"Finally"
He draws his last breath and slips away

Hello my new friend! I love this beautiful description of that teetering between life and death, minutes counting down to the end. Who hasn't imagined what this will be like. Very poignant, well done.
I appreciate it! and yes I think we all have thought about that moment at some point, but I like to think that instead of him dying, he´s actually finally living, you know? Well, thank you for taking the time to read!
Great TW, good descriptive work….
Facing my own mortality is something I tend to think about now I'm getting older.
