Once again, we squeezed and buried ourselves within the masse, me pulling her along, almost with brute force. Somewhere along the line my vision became blurred, smeared with the bodily fluid of another. Multiples times my feet were stepped upon, ribs crushed and suffocation ensued, my hair ruffled up, and thrice my face collided with someone's elbow. I could no longer differentiate the clamorous voices outside from that which was within, but that no longer mattered. I focused on my pain aching all over the body, distancing myself from reality. Reality is in the mind; knowing that I pressed on ahead.
