Ode To An Epileptic Seizure

I know that something's happened. I feel an appalling sense of dread. There's vomit on my shirt, and something sticky on my head. It feels as if my tongue is gone! My mouth a giant hole. My brain is in a frozen state, my body is so sore. I remember thinking  that I should try to leave now. I remember you saying that I should just sit down. I remember hearing locusts! I didn't know they could be so loud. I remember that fear consumed me as my heart began to pound. I remember trying  to take control somehow. But I don't remember why I am here now. Could someone please tell me where I am, and how I got here?

Additional Notes:
The first, more coming on the life of this trail. Suggestions for a new title would be greatly appreciated. Also, please feel free to ask questions; I need to know what else is needed to better explain seizures. All suggestions appreciated!
