    “I told you that you wouldn’t need me” a small voice whispered to her, startling her awake. Jane forced herself to keep her eyes closed, convincing herself quietly that if she just kept her eyes shut, she wouldn’t technically be awake just yet. “I tried to tell you!” The voice exclaimed. “I tried to tellyou that you’d live without me, if you didn’t get to the emergency room!”Jane willed her eyes to remain unopen, with everything piece of strength she still had in her.
