"Heavenless"
25. At the Edge of the World
Brigitte got out of the bath and dried up. The room wasn't cold, but it wasn't warm either, so she got dressed and wrapped a towel around her head. Stray strands of hair got loose. She went to her bag and retrieved her notebook.
Opened a blank page. On the left space, she wrote INCISION,TWO CUTS – approx.14:43.
She went to the next page and just wrote 50% dosage on the left margin. That seemed an accurate assessment, she had taken half of what she had given to Jason, after all.
She closed the notebook and went for the bandages. Wrapping her arm, she went to the bed and laid down. Immediately, she felt herself drifting away, teetering on the edge. It was as if she had, by deciding to rest, found the edge of the world and now was dangling off of it. Her hands gripped the sheets.
Shhh...
His voice, his warm presence.
Don't worry so much. You've made it, yeah? Rest.
"Stay." She said, half-conscious.
I'm not going anywhere.
