The Body Bag

Updated: Feb 2

He laid there in the darkness trying to feel the space around him. It was close, lacking air, and all enveloping. He felt like he was being sucked into a great, yet small void. Wherever he was it was flexible, but he couldn't get out. He decided to calmly think about where he was moments prior.

He went to the hospital emergency room for testicular torsion. Due to the laws in place, medical care was unavailable for his condition, and he could not be treated. As a result of this condition, he had a loss of blood circulation to his testicles that caused immeasurable pain. He became desperate and grabbed the nearest sharp object to remove the source of his problem himself. He began to lose a lot of blood before finally blacking out.

He died shortly after just to end up in a body bag in the morgue. He knew laws restricting medical access was going to end up this way.
