'In the midway of this our mortal life,
I found me in a gloomy wood, astray
Gone from the path direct...' ~ The Divine Comedy: Hell, Canto I

When I look in the mirror and push my hair back, I see my granddad looking back at me. And it terrifies me to think that one day I will be in a hospital bed. Slipping in and out of delirium, unable to eat, phlegm accumulating in my throat, gasping, wheezing. Everything in me shutting down.
I am terrified.
