I doubt
you have.
He was only
fifteen.
_____Have you ever seen someone bleeding out? Or, you know what's worse, holding your own brother, your flesh and blood, bleeding out as you frantically dial 9-1-1 each time but no one picks up. No one picks up or sends an ambulance.
And you feel his life slowly draining away, his head lolling, your shirt stained with his blood, your other brother not knowing what to do at all.
And after what seems like eternity you hear the ambulance coming. You hear them coming, but they're too late. He's dead.
They came after forty minutes.
Bloody hell, forty bloody minutes.
