Crashes hard into the trees—
Metal tearing—
Sparks flying—
Then—
Silence.
We both stand there for a second.
Breathing hard.

“Yeah.”

“You’re bleeding,” I say.
“I’m fine.”
“You’re not—”
“I’m—”
He stops.

Blood is soaking through the bandage now.
More than before.
Too much.
“You need to sit down,” I say.
“We need to move.”
“You’re not moving like this.”
“We don’t have a choice.”
I step closer.
Grab his vest.
