AED Survival Story On May 11, 2005, an alarm clock that had been ticking silently for five years went off at a high school in Rhinebeck, N.Y. It was 1:30 in the afternoon and warm, and 15-year-old Kaitlin Forbes was playing co-ed softball. Over the past eight months, her sophomore P.E. class—the “randomest” mix in the beginning, Kaitlin says—had become “so close it was, like, ridiculous.” They had nicknames for each other, and despite her delicate face and long, sweetly girlish hair, Kaitlin had been dubbed Carl. She’d been doodling on her hand in art class a few minutes before, and there she’d written the lyrics of a song that would mislead the paramedics who would shortly be called: I need the high to get me through the ever after.
