Fort Morgan
“ Sandy opened her eyes the moment Sissy groaned. Sissy’s days were painful, but the early hours of the morning were horrible. No amount of pain medication took away this early morning intensive pain. Sandy flipped off the blanket and got up from the couch where she’d been sleeping. On her way to Sissy’s bed, she touched Delphie’s shoulder.
“I’m awake,” Delphie said.
As she had done every night since she’d arrived, Abi lay wrapped around Sissy. Her hands stroked Sissy’s long hair as she whisper...ed in fairy language. Sandy had never asked Abi what she said to Sissy in these moments. Somehow, the foreign words seemed to strengthen Sissy.
Sandy sat down on the bed and took Sissy’s hand.
“Bad. . .,”

“Tonight.”
“Should we get the nurse?”
Sandy asked.
Sissy shook her head.
“Want to go home,” Sissy said.
