In Silence

Daniel climbed the ladder unsteadily. As expected, Jack was sitting in his chair, balancing a beer on his knee and staring at the night sky.

Jack looked over when Daniel stepped onto the platform. His eyes touched on Daniel's bandaged wrist. "That okay?"

Daniel shrugged.

Jack took a sip of his beer. "We okay?"

"Not so much." Daniel slid down till he was seated, leaning tiredly back against the low railing. They sat in silence, while Jack finished his beer. Then he stood and stepped carefully over Daniel's legs to descend the ladder.

"Not so much at all," Daniel whispered.
