Fragment

Staring in disbelief
Heart thumping
Pulse racing
Trying to speak
But unable to make a sound
Wondering if I am dreaming
It cannot be reality…
…Surely
Why me?
Why not me?
 No, there must be some mistake
I recall my past
Happiness and heartbreak
Life will never be the same again
I find my voice and shout:
‘YES!’

*I got pretty excited to win a tenner on the lottery, LOL
