When It Hits You

When the pain hits you it breaks your heart, and for a minute you must find a way to survive without it, impossible though the task may be. It all happens so fast. You are doing some inane task (driving, brushing your teeth, drinking a glass of water) and all of a sudden you can't breathe, and your chest hurts so bad you're sure its about to explode. The swift deconstruction of your entire world as you once knew it, and a surprise even if you see it coming.
