The challenge word this week is Forever.
It's always the same.
Panic, chaos, breathless terror and then one or other of them drags his bloodied, broken brother through the emergency room doors and the world goes into sickening slow-motion.
Control is lost as medics push the wild-eyed warrior away. Their failure to understand that they need to be together, that their survival, their very being is irrevocably intertwined, is astounding.
And then they wait and it feels like the world has slowed on it's axis. Like they are stuck forever in some stark-white, sterile universe where the only sound is the beep of the damned monitors.
Thanks for reading.
