This one didn’t go quietly. It fought, tearing through the girl from the inside. Sounds like barbed wire ripped out of her lungs.
In the end, there’s nothing left.
“You can’t save them all.” Ruby’s standing in the corner, arms crossed, tsking cold comfort him like a mother hen. The jaded phrase sound bizarre, coming from a voice so young.
An hour after, he can feel the pain in his throat. A deep burn of bruised muscle and skin. Adrenaline’s a funny thing, the initial rush wearing off and now he feels anger rise up urgent and strong.
“I’m sorry.”
Regret
This is what it’s like to be alive.
You apologize for things you didn’t do. It’s all the same, really. The action and the consequence fall on broad, weak shoulders.
You bite down hard on your tongue when you should speak up, defend your actions. Blood squirms between your teeth instead. It tastes human.
You remind yourself you have your brother back.
Every movement feels heavier than it did the moment before. The air feels thick. Like breathing through a straw, you can never get enough oxygen. Makes you anxious. Makes you scared.
You want it all to end. Again.
