Thorn in My Side
“It was 5:58 in the morning. Kirk’s CPAP machine made a noise like a ventilator as he slept soundly beside me. I had my Bible open by my head, but the words kept blurring.
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is no friend who sticks closer than a brother.

The alarm clock changed to 5:59, then 6:00, which sent it into a shrill beeping. Kirk reached over me and groped for the snooze button, but I pushed away his hand.
“Wha—?” His voice was muffled by the breathing mask. My expression was enough to cut off any comment.MoreLess
