My lungs...
Ripping into two, three, four pieces.
Every breath a gurgle.

My heart...
Beating so hard, so fast.
My whole body trembles.

My vision...
Black; my shoes, a lighter shade.
Shall I pass out now?

Water...
Thrown into my face.
To drink would be to drown.

Voices...
Shouting all around,
"You did it! You won!"

Smiling...
I accept first place.
I've just run a Marathon.
