Emotions run high when the unthinkable happens
It was bound to happen.
Work is always dangerous, callouts never predictable and vests seldom worn.
Still, he can't stop seeing the flare of the gun as it's fired from across the room, almost hidden from sight.
He tried so hard to get in front of the oncoming bullet
But, he'd fallen over his own two feet.
Now his love lies bleeding and in pain, agony clearly felt.
He feels a different agony; that of guilt, fear and helplessness.
Angrily, he strikes out, finding the wall just painful enough to temporarily numb his heart.
His tears are now of guilt.
