My words must have gotten through him.
"Where is Tryst?"
Archer shakes my shoulder.

I raise an eyebrow,
and smile,
my earlier purpose dissolving.
"I'm dying."

As if ploughing through mud,
I struggle to maintain resolve.

"Stop talking rubbish!" he shouts.

"You listen to me, Archer Logan!" I snap,
"This is me, Tryst!" 

"I'm calling the police."

I break down.
"You said you won't let me go! 
You would keep me safe. 
I'm dying, Archie. 
At the bridge, your Tryst is dying!"
