Suddenly a little overcome, unsure what was real and what wasn’t, I blurted out ‘Am I alive?’
I had no idea what round two might bring, I just wanted to be in the ring.
I imagined that the words had been swept away by the blood, and they were now floating dislodged from their homes.
I pictured it as though the stroke was an earthquake that shook the bookshelf of my mind, scattering all the contents across the floor.

Daylight was now streaming through the curtains, I squinted as the second worse headache of my life seared through my forehead.
