Warwick

A new face appears - not someone he knows - looks medical - hands touching - can't feel anything but excruciating pain - wants to tell her to stop - can't even groan - must be checking him over - pulling his eyes open wide - peering in with a light that feels like it's burning his retina away - peering in - what do you see in Willow - confusion - Willow doesn't know what to make of it - waste of time - stethoscope - makes more sense - find out if he's alive - no point trying to figure out a dead man's thoughts - mouths moving - no sounds - heard the kookaburra before and the crows - can't hear voices - didn't hear the cat - wonder if the cat spoke - maybe the cat is called Bradley - didn't hear his car - didn't hear any cars - stop shaking your fucking head it doesn't give anyone any confidence - now he's being moved - onto a stretcher - god it hurts - the stretcher is so soft - still hurts though - takes hours longer when it's happening to self - watch it happening to someone else - always looks so efficient - feels more comfortable - weird - still can't feel anything but pain - they keep stopping and doing things - mercy be, just get on with it - don't want to know what the headache is going to be like - someone's putting water on his lips - mercifully - but he can't feel it - can't swallow it - wonder if I'm going to remember all of this - any of this - will I remember the Clowns - Mrs Bradford - the sunny blue sky - the cat - leaning against the balustrade dozens of floors up - looking into the abyss - never forget the abyss - it's in every nightmare.
