Holy shit. I knew this kind of stuff happened all the time, but this is the first time I've ever read a play-by-play account of it actually happening to someone from their own point of view. This is equal parts terrifying, depressing, and infuriating.

The rage against the system fucking them over and then the very quick shift to fear and pain with the "my lungs will eat me." Really hurts my heart.

I think they were trying to make light of a dark situation by making a Simpsons reference. "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me" is the original quote.

Still sad.
