Youngest Brother Shoulders back, head up. Look him in the eyes. The slow, drawn-out breaths from the air-tank are the only sounds filling the room. No, someone sniffles, a tear runs down a cheek; it’s my mother, it’s my sister. Stay strong. His bloated stomach moves with the sounds, in and out, out of his control. His flat chest quivers, I can see his heart-beating, I can feel mine. His legs lay motionless for the first time in many years. He was always moving. Moving ships off the coast of…
