Tick …
Time slowed, stilled. Then stopped.
Flashing blue rippled between two frozen figures. Each wanting to speak. Neither knowing what to say. Eyes met. Held. Despaired.
A single pounding footfall reverberated down the corridor, a herald of the inevitable.
Go, please.
I can't.
Words never realized, never allowed, floated in the still air. Was this how it was to end? A silent acknowledgement before the last breaths, the final cheated glances?
Desperation squeezed a vise around ribs unprepared for the sensation. Why? Oh, why, had they waited until it was too late?
The moment gone, time sprinted back into place.
… tock.
