PRESENT DAY…
“This is all such bullshit.”
I glance around the room at the individuals situated in a circle. It’s
my day to lead the trauma survivor support group, and normally, I’m
all for it. But today… not so much.
Eighteen years.
Where the time’s gone, I have no idea, but May twenty-third is a day
that is burned in my brain for all eternity.
No pun intended.
“Why do you say that?” I ask Jack, forcing myself to remain in the
present.
“Because trauma is trauma,” he snaps. “Coming here and talking about
our feelings isn’t going to make it go away.”
Oh, how right you are.
“True,” I concede. Jack is new to the group, so I don’t argue with him.
Getting him to see a different perspective won’t be easy. “But when we
discuss our trauma with others and listen to their stories, it can help us to
not feel so alone.”
“Like you know anything about it,” he mutters, his tone bitter.
“Tell him your story, Ms. Daniels,” Rachel states, always jumping into a
conversation to defend others.
Sweat gathers at the base of my spine at the mention of my own
nightmare. Just thinking about it for a second sends me back in time.
My lungs burn as I try to remember all the fire drills we’ve done this
year. It’d be much easier if I weren’t the only one still moving, but I am.
I crawl toward the door, and when I reach it, I try to stand and grab the
handle only to fall on my butt at the sting of heat that penetrates my skin.
Tears leak from my eyes, but the warmth of the fire dries them before
they can roll down my cheeks.
“Hello! Anyone in there?”
I gasp at the voice which sends me into a coughing fit.
“Help me,” I manage to choke out.
“Move away from the door!”
I do as I’m told, and a loud banging sound joins the crackling of the
fire. Several long seconds later, the door splinters open, and I’m able to
make out the shape of a person crawling into the room.
“Where are you?” they ask.
I move toward the voice, and a hand grabs my arm. I’m lifted off the
floor and squished against a body.
“I’m gonna need you to hold your breath, okay?”
I nod as I quickly plug my nose and bury my face in my rescuer’s shirt.
The heat intensifies as I’m whisked out of the room.
“Then what happened?” Jack asks.
I didn’t realize I’d been recounting the whole event out loud until he
spoke, and I shake my head to clear the cobwebs.
“I was saved,” I say simply.
“Well, yeah, but…”
That’s the part most people don’t understand. They think that because I
survived, I shouldn’t still be reeling from everything that happened. But
healing isn’t that easy.
