   Summary

   It feels like I’m drowning. My lungs burn and ache, yet I'm still choking. Every time I try to breathe, more blood rushes into my mouth. I'm going to die drowning in blood, what a miserable way to go.
   Wait
   Why haven't I died yet?
   Are you here to save me?

   OR

   Simon is saved by Grace and learns how to live life, not just survive anymore.
