Elizabeth Part One

Elizabeth was sleeping alone in her king sized bed tossing and turning. Her covers had been kicked off during her night of fitful sleep. Her sheets were darkened by the dampness from her sweat. She often overheated at night, so she only slept in panties. Her eyes rolled around behind lids screwed shut in dreaming. Her ample frame laying currently on her left side.

Elizabeth was 5 foot 5 inches tall and 185 pounds and only 23 years old. Her smooth and youthful skin was milky white. On this occasion, her skin between her ample breasts, chest and neck was reddish pink. Her face was flushed and sweaty looking quite feverish. She was tossing and turning most of the night, limbs jerking and head lolling and twisting back and forth. She was in the midst of another lucid dream, a night terror. She had them constantly. Her anxious mind overwhelming her sleeping body. Some nights she could wake herself with her lungs gasping and her heart painfully pounding in her chest. Other nights, she would be paralyzed by fear and unable to wake, just roll and thrash. This was one of those nights.

Elizabeth dreamed that she had been taken captive. She was brought into dark dungeon-like room with no windows by black clad figures. She was placed on an angled table where her torso was strapped to the table with a leather strap and buckle. Her arms at wrists and elbows and her legs at ankles and thighs were strapped and buckled too. She felt the presence of several individuals but could not see them. A bright examination light shined in her face and on her body. It cast a bright white glow over her naked body. Her heart was racing. She could feel her pulse in her throat. Her lungs burned as she gasped for air. Her heaving chest bouncing her breasts up and down with every inhalation.

Another dark clad figure appeared with a stethoscope. He placed it on Elizabeth's heaving chest. The room filled with the sound of her terrified heartbeat. 100 beats per minute. Heart thumping, valves clapping and thudding. Each beat scared her. She knew this dream. She screamed. Veins bulging in her neck and chest. No sound except the beating of her heart. She screamed again and still nothing but the sound of her heart and the gasping of her lungs. She hated these dreams. They always led to the same thing, either suffocation or a heart attack or both. Two things she feared more than anything.

The black clad leader approached her and checked her carotid pulse. She tried to move away but realized she couldn't. Her head was turned to the side so he straightened it and placed a rolled up towel under her neck. This resulted in her bounding pulses to be easily viewed and her giant jugular veins to distend more greatly under the stress. All she could hear was the beating of her heart and her breathing. She could barely feel anything.

He placed ecg pads on her chest and connected her to a monitor. Her cardiac activity showed on the screen and a series of tall waveforms very close together. Her heart was beating at 130 beats per minute. Next he swabbed her chest completely with alcohol and placed defibrillator pads over her right breast and below her left on the side of her chest. Her lungs were gasping. He placed a hand on the center of her chest feeling the rhythm. The ecg read 141.

Disappearing momentarily, he returns to her left side. Feeling her pulse again, he reaches into the cart that he brought back with him and pulls out two plastic wrapped needles. She can feel her heart pounding on the verge of skipping. He unwrapped the first 8 inch long needle and palpates the right side of her sternum. He counted the sections between the ribs and when he found the 4th space he inserted the needle smartly into her chest and advanced it slowly until he felt the structure he wanted to feel. The tip of the needle resting inside her pericardium. The exposed end of the needle waved rhythmically as the tip pressed against living heart muscle. Elizabeth felt nothing. With her head in the same position he placed it in, she couldn't see what be was doing. Unwrapping the second needle, he moved directly across from the other needle to the fourth space between the ribs on her left sternal side. He inserted the needle smartly into that space too. He advanced this one deeper into her chest cavity and once he felt the point insert itself with a little pop, he knew the placement was perfect. This needle was firmly pressed into Elizabeth's pericardial apex.

He watched in fascination as Elizabeth's heart skipped and thumped at the intrusion then rhythmically settled down. He watched both needles vibrate equally hard. He placed his finger near one at it vibrated and it wavered into his finger and tapped against it. Every contraction of her heart muscle moved the needles. He touched the needle sticking out near her apex and her heart violently reacted skipping beats, throwing pvcs and arching Elizabeth's back. Next he touched the opposite needle and Elizabeth's heart actually stopped beating for 7 seconds then quivered back to life. Her chest heaved as if catching her breath. He watched her neck veins distend and settle back.

Back in the real world, Elizabeth was sweating. She was paralyzed lying on her back. Her chest was heaving and her heart was pounding clearly behind her ribcage. She was terrified but could do nothing about it. She would gasp and cough then steady herself. She couldn't wake up. No matter what. She knew she had to wake up. Adrenalin flooded her veins. Her chest heaved as her heart bashed against her ribcage. Her carotid arteries bounding in her neck and her jugular veins painfully distending. Her blood pressure audible in her ears. Her lungs heaving as if she was running a marathon. She couldn't break free of the dream.

The black clad leader returned. She felt him check her pulse. She knew it must have felt like a hammer against his fingers. She couldn't move or cry out. Her heart pounding so hard and loud. She couldn't see anything. He ran his fingers over her bulging neck veins. Her breathing harsh and raspy. He flicked the apex needle sending her racing heart into an agonizing arrhythmia for 10 long seconds. The ecg showed her rhythm loss as harsh fibrillation but it quickly corrected itself. He flicked the left needle and her heart stopped, felt like it was folding in on itself and thrusted hard five times before catching up again. The ecg showed ectopic beats and a two second flatline.

Elizabeth was in a panic. Now she could feel the needles, where they were embedded and each beat of her heart against them. Her racing heart and the needles insulting it were taking their toll. Her breathing became more labored and agonal. She felt she was dying.

The leader watched the needle vibration carefully and grabbed the apex needle quickly and attached a small wire to it. Her heart freaked out momentarily. He did the same to the other needle and that caused her heart to stop dead for seven full seconds and finally explode back to life. He placed a screen in front of Elizabeth's face. A camera was focused on her stricken chest. She could see the ecg leads the needles vibrating violently and the defib pads on her body. Her ample breasts heaving with effort for every breath taken. He placed he hand in the center of her chest and felt her beats. He then felt her pulse and veins. She was freaking out inside her head. She could not wake up. She knew she was about to die.

In reality, Elizabeth was gasping for breath. Her heart was slamming her chest 168 times per minute. She lay staring at the ceiling screaming inside and unable to move. Her heart beating so hard her breasts jiggled. She was still on her back.

The leader connected the wires to a small box. It had one button on it. He turned it over and plugged in a cord then plugged it into a wall socket. A button with a red light was on the top of the box. The light was off. He placed the box in view of Elizabeth's camera. She could see the wires from her chest went to box. She began to cough and sputter. He checked her pulse and then placed his finger on the button. She screamed at him not to, but no words came out.

He pressed the button quickly, like a tap. Pop! Electricity shot across Elizabeth's heart. The needles went rigid and vibrated violently as her heart absorbed the shock. She coughed and gasped. Her whole chest shook as the current raced from right to left across her most vital organ. It left her gasping and heaving for breath as he checked her pulse at carotid and placed a steth on her mitral. Her heart was struggling to maintain rhythm confused as to why it was being shocked for no reason. He pressed the button again but held it down for a full two seconds. The needles stood rigid and vibrated wildly for a full eleven seconds, her chest muscles and back went rigid and her heart then flopped hard at least twice and resumed the rhythmic dance of her natural heartbeat. Ecg showed irregular tracings for several minutes after the last insult. He placed his hand between her breasts and felt the pumping and the struggle.

In the real world, Elizabeth's body jumped off the bed as if it was really feeling the shock. She flopped and gasped. Her heart visibly struggling between her 4th and 5th ribs on her left side. The dream world was seriously impacting her reality.

He made an adjustment on the bottom of the box. Elizabeth streamed tears as his finger aimed for the button again. Her ecg began to show her heartrate at 176 with bigeminal and pvc runs beginning. He pressed the button and this time held it. Both needles began to violently shake. The ecg machine screamed cardiac arrest but showed the high peaks and valleys of 250 beats a minute on the screen. Elizabeth's body tensed from her heart and chest wall to her arms retracting and fingers curling. Her legs and feet stiffening and curling as well. The violent shaking causing foaming at the mouth and respiratory paralysis.

In reality, Elizabeth's back arched her legs and feet curl up, she stopped breathing and began to violently shake as though she was having a grand mal seizure.

He released the button and Elizabeth's chest dropped and her body relaxed. The needles are frozen. Not moving. The ecg shows flatline then the needles violently waver then stillness. Then wavering and finally quivering. The leader balls his fist and slams her sternum squarely. The needles begin to rapidly vibrate and move into rhythm. Satisfied at this reaction. He placed an oxygen mask over her mouth and face.

Elizabeth felt her body relax and her heart stop. She felt the punch to her chest and felt her heart begin to beat again. Tears streamed from the corner of her eyes as she wondered what could possibly happen next. In her paralyzed state, her terror made her heart pound harder. 190 beats per minute. A deep ache began In the center of her chest. Her lower back began to ache and the pain began to wrap around to her midsection. Her breathing started coming in rasps. Her left arm began to feel numb. Her heartbeat was already very visible in her belly and was now pumping so hard her entire chest and breasts shook. She knew what was happening. Her eyes screwed shut as waves of pain hit and her breathing grew shallow and labored. She couldn't move, speak or even cry out. A crushing pain enveloped her chest. Her lungs felt like lead. She couldn't catch her breath. Tears were running down her face.

The leader watched the needles begin to quiver uncontrollably. Her heart was throwing pvcs and runs of ectopic beats. The ecg was showing a complicated pattern of normal, bigeminal and arrhythmic beats. She was becoming unstable. He felt one or two more 'sessions' would send her over the edge. He didn't have to press the button again. Elizabeth's heart erupted into quivering, vibrating and flopping in her chest. The needles moving violently and erratically. He pressed the button as quickly as he could as if to defibrillate her. The shock shot across her erratic heart and only caused her chest to jump and her arms to bounce. The needles now remained still.

In reality, Elizabeth's heart was racing and skipping. Her pulses visible in her neck, chest and wrists. Her veins continued to bulge painfully. The pressure she felt in her chest doubled and she felt as if her heart were being torn out. She coughed, sputtered and gagged. She arched her back as her lungs tried to suck in air and froze in mid-inhalation. After a flurry of insanely wild fluttering and beats, Elizabeth released the last air she had in her lungs and succumbed to a full cardiac arrest.

The leader looked at Elizabeth's dying form. He smirked at how quickly he was able to stop her heart this time. After years of actually trying to kill her, he had finally succeeded. Listening to her bare chest with his stethoscope and watching the needles intently, he was satisfied that she was dead. He flicked each needle and was rewarded with no response. Placing the control down, he activated the defibrillator. As it charged, he removed the needles from Elizabeth's chest. He moved to her head and took up an ET tube kit and intubated her. Under his table he pulled out a ventilator tube and connected it to the ET tube. Once her lungs were being supported, he began to compress her ample chests harshly. Crushing her sternum with force and deliberation. Shoulders bouncing, breasts jiggling and stomach distending. He paused long enough to inject medications into her IV and restart compressions. Several rounds later she began to fibrillate. Her quivering heart showed up on the ecg. He charged the pads to 200 joules and shocked her. The energy causing her chest to tense and buck. There was no change. He injected more drugs into her IV and began compressions again. Her rhythm became coarse so he charged the pads again. The shock bucked her body and flopped her hands and feet. Red marks on her chest from the compressions began to appear signifying blood movement of some sort. The next round of meds he injected directly into her quivering heart. He upped the joules to 250 and shocked her again. She jumped slightly harder. Her ecg showed a slow, small run of beats then fibrillation again. He pushed another drug directly into her heart and set the joules to 300. Shocking Elizabeth and causing her to buck and her arms and legs to jerk. Her ecg showed an irregular arrhythmia and finally, with a few direct compressions, a strong 70 beats per minute.

In the real world, Elizabeth's body lay on the bed in full cardiac arrest. Each shock given to her in the dream caused her body to jump in real life. The final 300 joule shock caused Her to jump, gasp and scream as her heart started beating wildly in her chest in order to restore oxygen to her system. She lay gasping. Wide awake as her heart and lungs worked feverishly to heal her. She reached for her phone and dialed 911. As she waited for medics to arrive, she felt her pulse. Her rhythm was irregular. She felt the back pain and the difficulty breathing return. She began to cry as she felt her heartbeat begin to fail again. She cried out in pain just as the medics entered the room and began to work on her. Elizabeth had a massive heart attack on her bed as the medic began to resuscitate her.
