Screams
Scully's screams
I can hear all the way in the basement
Shots
All rounds fired
At Scully?
Stairs
Two at a time
Slip on the landing
Run
Down the hall
It stretches forever
Blood
Scully's blood
Everywhere
Pulse
Have a pulse
Breathe
Alive
She's alive
Calm down, it's me
Tears
Scully's tears
Soaking through my shirt
Whispers
Hushed whispers
Murmurs of nonsense
Silence.
Sift sighs
Pave ways to dreamless sleep
Close
Too close
