Lost Signals [Ongoing]

In that moment,

the world was reduced

to a cacophony of sounds drowned out

by her own heartbeat.

No one could pull her away from him,

not as his light flickered,

a solitary candle threatened by the wind.

It felt immensely unfair.

When the ambulance arrived,

paramedics quickly swarmed him,

but they felt like distant voices,

barely real.

She squeezed his hand tightly,

unwilling to let go.

“I love you, Danny.

Please hang on.

I should have fought harder.”
