Summary
Ephemeral
ephem·er·al (n)
To have a brief and precious existence.How painfully human everyone was, as Tommy stood against the current of the river of constantly moving time. Watching as the water ran around his legs, his waist, his shoulders. Watching how it would eventually wash over his head and Tommy would hold his breath as the saltwater stung his eyes and filled his lungs, leaving crystalized salt to line his throat in jagged edges.
And from the ashes of his death, he’d come back the next day. His eyes always a little less blue than before, like the water had washed out the colour in them as his reflection drifted further and further away from the boy he’d once been.
Heart beating hard against the cage of his ribs and lungs filled with salt, Tommy swore to himself to never let anyone close again.
