FELLED
[2008]

“What’s woulds you do, I wonder, if you wasn’ts wis Nathan. I wonders,” he seemed to be talking to himself now, “if you coulds ever loves dis guy here now. Cause dis is me, Toki. Nots dat guy who fucks ladies he don’t know or de guy who wants you to always lose on de guitars so dat he cans look betters. Dis is me, de me dat loves you and always wills. Dis is de guy who were hidings in me so long he almost dies. I think…maybes dat de old me dieds under dat tree, Toki.”

Toki was speechless, not even breathing at this point.

Skwisgaar raised his head. “I am fucked now,” he muttered. “Fucked.”

His eyes swirled unsteadily and Toki darted forward just in time to catch Skwisgaar’s arm as he fell to his knees in a half-faint. Toki wrapped both arms under Skwisgaar’s, held fast to his torso, and lowered him gently into the snow. But didn’t let go.
