The Extra Life Jacket
Chapter 13 — Waiting for a Pulse
It took a long while for the old phone to wake.
The battery had been dead so long that for several minutes nothing happened at all, and I half hoped nothing would, because I did not know what I wanted more — to find something of them, or to be spared whatever finding it would cost.
That was the true shape of my hesitation, and I am not proud of it.
Part of me did not want the phone to wake.
