Eve of Destruction
“I’d been trapped in the observation room all alone for hours, and now the door stood open. I could get up off the floor and leave without anyone stopping me. The fact that I wanted to stay made me wonder what sort of person I’d become.
What’s wrong with you, bro? This is the part where you run out the door and save the day!
I’m not good at that kind of thing, Keith. You should know that by now.
You’re just feeling sorry for yourself. Get up off your ass and show Rainsford what you’re made of.
B...ut it wasn’t that I felt sorry for myself. My little brother didn’t understand me in death any better than he had when he was alive. Or maybe I’m just complicated. There were reasons I stayed on the floor, and none of them had anything to do with feeling sorry for myself. Exiting the observation room meant leaving the comfort of the monitors. I’d lose my ability to observe what was going on. It had been my keen advantage all along and it was risky giving it up, even for a few minutes.MoreLess
