I sat there listening trying to figure out what it was I was listening to.

 

LJ Challenge 16: Listen


The most beautiful thing I ever heard was the day they took all the equipment out of his room. There was no sound of air being pushed in and out of my friend’s body, no nagging beep to tell me he was still alive.

Just silence.

Then I heard it.

And I sat there listening trying to figure out what it was I was listening to.

Then I laughed because it was Starsky breathing.

Breathing unaided and I could hear him.

And it was a beautiful thing.
