tww100.Title: Anger Later
Author: Quaggy
Challenge # 167: Hands
Word Count: 100
Notes: Set after Third Day Story
Is it possible to give someone all of your energy by just holding his hand? You hope so.
You’ll get angry later. You’ll curse the White House and the stubborn fool that wouldn’t leave, no matter what the consequence.
But not now. He still needs you now. So you sit quietly in the unnatural still of the hospital, listen to its rhythmic and alien noises and squeeze his hand a little tighter.
No. You won’t get angry at all. His job cost him his marriage. It might still cost him his life. But it will never cost him his daughter.
