Summary
Just a short something, might write more of them might not. More of a writing warmup than anything but I figure it's worth posting.

Summary
"I can't sleep," Warren finds himself half-whispering into the silent dark across the short corridor between his and Gordon's rooms sometime in the small hours of the morning, trying and failing to keep the note of abject misery he's earned for trying too long from his voice.
Warren elects not to take the floor this time.

Summary
“Seriously, what is it? You know you can tell me, Warren.” Gordon insisted, and Warren chanced a look at the other man’s face then. Gordon’s eyes were wide and bright and full of life and concern and curiosity, just like they had been forty four years ago. He’s here, Warren thought to himself, he’s here and awake and alive and right in front of you, he’s not going to be taken away from you. He’s here, he’s here, he’s here. Warren didn’t notice his knuckles turn white as he clutched the sheets tighter in his hands.
“Fine, fine ok.” He relented, and let out a big sigh, “It’s just…it’s hard to believe you’re actually here. I keep expecting to blink and have you disappear because I was just hallucinating to make myself feel better or something. I spent all this time waiting for you to wake up, but now that you’re actually awake I have no idea what to do or what to say. I feel like an idiot.” He admitted, feeling a little breathless. For some reason, Gordon just smiled.
“I know a bit about what that’s like.”
***

Summary
“Her name is Ellie,” she says, eyes still on the sweet, slumbering child. “Take care of her. Don’t fuck this up, Joel.”
He doesn’t respond, just watches until Marlene is gone and moves to lock the door once more, knowing it’s probably about to be a long night with very little sleep.
Glancing down at the baby – Ellie – Joel releases a slow breath. “Looks like it’s just you and me, kid.”
Fucking hell, he’s got his work cut out for him.
or
(Joel raises Ellie. Some things change while others stay the same. A journey from Boston to Wyoming.)
