Watching Amanda (2012)
“Can’t breathe ...
At first, she thought it was a dream. A nightmare. But then she realized she couldn’t breathe. Panic and adrenaline overtook her and she struggled against whatever was pressing against her face. It felt like a pillow. Pressing harder. Harder.
She batted wildly, fruitlessly with her arms.

Weaker. Weaker ...
