clotted
raze her son noticed her speech was slurred when she got home from grabbing groceries. she seemed disoriented. her husband called an ambulance.

the attendants scoffed when they saw her.

"give it a day," they said. "the hospital's full. you'll be waiting there for six hours anyway. she should be fine."

her husband wasn't taking any chances. he brought her to the emergency department.

there was a woman there with both eyes blackened and welded shut. they threw her out the door. screaming. blind. bewildered. another woman's skin was painted colours no human being should be by the fists of a beast in the body of a man.

"but i still love him," he heard her say.

they found a blood clot in his wife's brain. another day and she would have been dead.

when she was feeling like herself again, she told her husband, "you better go to work."

so he sat on the couch. and he turned the tv on and let it tell him something terrible.
