NUMBNESS

He now only had the room to cross. But the numbness slowly crept over his feet. This simply can't be happening he thought. But it was and he knew there was no way to stop it. He fell to the ground as his knees became useless. Pulling himself with his arms was the only option now and he slowly did so across the room. So close, he thought, it's just a bit further. Suddenly he could no longer feel his chest; his heart and breath were slowing if going at all. Only inches away now. He used his last possible ounce of strength to pull himself up to the counter but now the arms had been lost. It was right next to his ear and all he could do was watch while his head and brain became numb and lost.
