*My hand hovers over the remnants of the wound that snakes through my chest, back, and waist, before drifting toward the fresh cascade of sand, only to swiftly recoil as if scorched by an open flame*

*Leaves it open but walks back to into the base, stopping to stare at the TV in deep though for a while before walking down the hall*
