Fics like An Argument for Survival

“What are you doing, kid?” he asks, and the edge in it is dulled by fatigue. Up close, the emptiness is clearer. The fight I saw drain out of him under Dr. Abbot’s hand hasn’t returned. There’s no defiance left in the line of his shoulders, no argument gathering in his jaw. His hands rest loosely on the handlebars, fingers curved but not gripping, not anchored. He looks less like a man about to ride and more like a man prepared to be carried by whatever happens next. I take a step closer. “You should put your helmet on.” He exhales through his nose, a breath that could almost pass for amusement if it weren’t so thin. Or, Robby leaves early only to return on a gurney. The helmet Dennis clicked into place was enough to save his body, but can Dennis save his soul?
