Peter
by Abigail
Normal is his battlecry. His plea with every breath. "I want for normal. For the world to stop knocking on my door and begging."
Normal, is not possible I say. "Normal is an unattainable state of being that we were not born to or born for. Bombs threaten, Viral plagues, shoulders heavy with the burdens. Cries of 'HELP' coming from all corners to be saved. That is our normal. This is our world."
We don't get normal dashing from one apocalypse to the next. You want normal? Shoulda become a mailman Peter. Not a Paramedic.
You're still saving the world.
