Pulse

Zack lay at the bottom of the stairs. Dianne dropped her keys and rushed to him. Her fingers detected no pulse from his windpipe.

She covered the wound and cleaned him from the blood. Zack’s light body was easy to carry.

Dianne breathed into his chest. He rose; she collapsed.

Prompt: Witch

    Wow, intense story, @poetrybyjeremy! So the mom/witch gives her own life so her son can live. But oh no -- now Zach has no mommy!

      Yeah. . . tough choice. A resolution without any possible "happy ending."
