I awoke in a bathtub surrounded by blood.
The speakerphone was active, broadcasting an irate man's voice: "I'm home now, where are you? Do you enjoy this constant turmoil?"
I hung up, dialed emergency services, and the next time I awoke, I was in a hospital room.
The doctor said, "Had it been five minutes later, we couldn't have saved you. You're fortunate your survival instinct is strong." "Yes, I'm aware."
I've crossed over into a tragic romance novel.
The female lead in the novel, Evelyn, suffered from unrequited love for Julian. His prolonged emotional abuse had driven her into depression, marked by a profound suicidal inclination.
Tonight, Julian was hosting a welcome-back party for his former love.
Overwhelmed, Evelyn had begged him to come home.
He had initially ignored her pleas for help.
Her life was meant to end today.
But now, it wouldn't.
