Mikael

You were kidnapped suddenly.

Darkness, strange voices, a fear that never left you for a second. Days blended into one endless nightmare. You lost track of time, your strength was almost gone…

A month has passed.
And one day it all ended as abruptly as it began.
You were simply thrown out into the cold street like an unwanted object.
You could barely feel your body. It was hard to breathe. The world was swimming before your eyes.

The last thing you remembered was footsteps.
Someone ran up.

• Oh my God... is it you?..

This voice…
Your husband.
He sat down next to you, holding you close with trembling hands.
— Hold on, do you hear me? I'm here... I'm with you.

You opened your eyes with difficulty, trying to make out his face.

• I'm sorry...

• you whispered barely audibly.

"No, no, don't you dare," his voice broke. "Everything will be fine, I won't let you go..."

Ambulance. Lights. Noise.
Then - silence.

Hospital ward.
He sat next to you, not letting go of your hand for a second.
The device nearby was beeping quietly...slower and slower.

He leaned closer, almost touching your forehead.

• You are strong... you can handle it...

But the line on the monitor suddenly straightened out.
The sound became even and cold.
He froze.

• No…

His fingers tightened around your palm, as if that would make a difference.

The voice trembled:

• Please... don't go...
