The Fragments I Catch of Dying Memories
26. He's Scared

They say he'll be whole again in time, but he feels like a jigsaw puzzle missing too many pieces. He knows his family and friends feel it too, whenever he loses a conversation partway or whenever the shadows slink into his gaze and he's staring at a different part of the world when he can next see again. Or when he thinks he's fine one moment and tries to do something, only to throw up again the next.

He's sick and tired of it, and he wants his life back – but he can see those once-invisible shadows now to fight.
