Long nimble fingers pinch twitching skin.

Dark blood oozes from closed gash.

Curved needle hovers.

Bare back heaves with a sigh.

Soft words are spoken. Reassurances.

Needle pierces twitching skin.

A heavy flinch.

A hiss.

Nimble fingers tie nylon thread.

More reassurances. More soft words.

Taut muscles move beneath sweat soaked skin.

Needle finds skin again.

Another twitch, another hiss.

Another neatly tied knot.

Cold alcohol finds it's mark.

A hiss, an expletive. Gritted teeth.

Ribs expand under sweat soaked skin.

Fingertips explore neatly sutured wound.

A twitch.

Exhale.

A T-Shirt.

A helping hand.

A cold beer.

Brothers.

Yay, fuel for my stitch addiction. It all ended in a cold beer too, which is how all good stories end. I really liked this one, it was an interesting narrative and really worked well.
