Gravity

In midair, he'd met me as I fell.

Then I fell again.

And time passed in instants.

For an instant and a half, I wondered if he'd catch me. Another half-instant, and I realized he couldn't.

Then I thought for an instant of that man, Isaac, and his paintings. His painting of me.

And, a few instants later, noticed I'd stopped falling.

I looked around at the buildings, and at the ground below. I didn't fall again. Instead, I smiled, and looked up.

An instant later, my arms were around my brother and he wasn't calling me a dreamer anymore.


Post-DLB A/N: I so called that! Heck yeah.
