Friendship
is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Aristotle
Searching
Ollie Bear
Metal scraping.
Panicked shouts.
Shots fired.
Searching.
So much damage.
Little hope for survival.
The others heart begins to break.
Searching for…
Silent tears.
Paralyzing grief.
How can one go on without the other?
Searching for the one …
One heart stopped and the others did too.
Doors shoved open.
Racing against time.
Searching for the one that makes me whole.
Looking for his other half.
Two spirits collide.
Two souls embrace.
At last the search is over. Each comforted by the knowledge he is not alone. Together they have the strength to survive. Two again become one. Complete. Whole.
