Suffocate

I held onto the rocket, asphyxiated with the lack of oxygen. I am so close to reaching space but with no spacesuit on, the very shell of my being will perish. The earth behind me looking like a giant marble of blue and green. I can feel the cold air surrounding, slowly freezing my mortal shell. As the rocket pulls away towards the sun, the radiation burns deep, boiling my blood. My memories running by, the life I lead, all coming to a stop once I pass this point. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, say goodbye, don't let go.
