Chapter Four

Third Station of the Cross
Jesus falls for the first time

Step

Step.

Pain in my shoulder.

Fire down my spine.

Burning, aching.

Can't stand it.

Have to stand it.

Can't give up.

Won't give up.

The world is spinning before my eyes.

Need to stop to catch my breath.

Want to stop.

Can't stop.

Move one foot.

And then the other.

Step.

Stumble.

Fall.

The ground rushing up towards my face.

Catch with my hand.

The cross weighs me down.

I've scraped my knee.

Must rest.

Must not rest.

Must get up.

Must stand and walk.

Get to my feet.

And-

Step.
