Come Lay Me Down. Come Heal Me Now- Will Cookson, Alone in the Dark

Time Period: The Present Reality

Regina's p.o.v

By happenstance, we encountered each other

at ground zero. You had lost your balance and

fallen off the dock. You slept safe and sound inside

your beautiful comatose mind. Your body was carried

away on a stretcher. Shock and grief paralyzed

me. I was a zombie more than a hero that you could

count on. All alone in the darkness, my guilt over ignoring your

silent cries for help has come and gone in waves. All alone

in the darkness, what good can be born out of all this

hot mess?
