coffin'

I woke up and started coughing. I coughed up the taste of you from the dream I had. I coughed brown phlegm into the sink basin. I coughed and coughed and coughed. I coughed until sour spit filled my mouth and I puked all over my socks. I coughed until my balls throbbed and I shitted myself. I coughed until tunnels threatened to make me black-out. I coughed and coughed and coughed. I coughed until I choked, my heart was stuck in my throat. I coughed until I spat it out, still beating, onto my coat. I coughed and coughed and coughed. I coughed until I was lying face-up in a... casket?
