Sunday

There is pain in your bone in the right arm and ribs, and it spreads and worsens throughout the day.  It takes ten seconds to find the reason on the internet, and this time it's not something easily ignored.

Suddenly, this is real, immense and unavoidable, like a brick wall on a motorway.

You wonder how long you have.  Time is mocking you, dancing away as you reach out to it.  For a second, you cannot breath.  Then you refocus, and are back in the room.
