Title: The Rhythm of the Rain
And the Condom Goes To: Ted and Blake
My body rocks from left to right, the repetitive movement occupying parts of my brain just waiting for the inevitable alarms to sound; irrefutable proof that thanks to me, time has run out for Justin.
I absently note the beating of my heart keeping time with the tattoo of rain on the ambulance roof, and I idly wonder what would happen if the rain’s rhythm ceased.
Would my heartbeat follow suit?
Would his?
I wrap the blood-stained scarf as tightly as a tourniquet around my hand, the whiteness of my fingers matching his pale, pale face.
I start to pray. |
