Writerly Ways
Nov. 21st, 2021 10:15 pmNo time for anything. I worked ALL DAY. One of the reasons I took off yesterday was because I realized I had worked every weekend since Bob fest a month ago. I didn't finish until 10 pm and I'm not done I just gave up.

Snippet - Sterling kept his word. He okayed it with the ICU nurses but they were still only allowed five minutes. It might have been four too long for Alessia. She thought herself ready to be there, to comfort Dan even though he probably couldn’t hear her yet but she was wrong. His skin had faded to a sickly pallor where she could actually see it. He was swathed in bandages and wires. Things beeped and whirred monitoring his blood pressure, pulse and heartbeat. The worst part was the tube taped to his face and knowing it went down his throat, helping him to breath. The mechanical nature of the ventilator evoked a visceral dislike deep inside her. Dan barely clung to life.
“I sent it back, Dan,” she whispered in his ear. “I sent it back to hell.”
He couldn’t respond but she hoped he heard her. Alessia hoped he wasn’t afraid walled off inside his head. She hoped there was nothing but happy dreams in there, that they had made it to the dance and Dan was happy there. She hoped Laura wasn’t there calling for him to follow her. Alessia didn’t know what she and Grace would do if that happened. She hadn’t been fast enough and Dan had paid for that.
