{Episode Prompt - 301}
Impenetrable shadows. Or blinding light. And pain. Excruciating, concentrated pain. Time held no meaning – he lived in a continuum of cold, rustic shabbiness followed by agonizing pain, hurried patching-up and then repetitions and recurrences of the same horror. It was like his life was a nightmarish echo: being blinded by darkness or blinded by light, soul-racking pain, cruel convalescence always surrounding him and coming back at him again.
But inside him, inside a tiny crevice they couldn't get to, he held her there. Olivia. He replayed images of her: the fall of her hair, the softness of her skin, the way she smiled around her wine glass, her fondness...no, fixation on popcorn. He replayed her. And the only thought that brought him a measure of peace in this unfathomable torment:
She must be ok. They had taken him instead.
They wouldn't keep him like this; they wouldn't torture him like this; if they had him then she must be ok...somewhere, out there. And that was fine. He had done right by her.
She was ok.
He had saved her.
She was ok.
He had saved her...
