There was a point when i knew that i was going to die. And at that moment i couldn’t help but think of Hazel and infinities and breathing and death. I recalled the day when hazel was sat next to me and we talked about infinities. How between one and two there are many, and even more between zero and two. Now, i can’t help but think: breathing is our largest infinity. Like the numbers between one and two, breathing never ends. But like the person who eventually stops counting the number between one and two, my lungs get tired. And eventually, they too, must stop.
