All he had heard was the pounding of his nearly exploding heart in his ears, all he had seen was the tunnel of red rage intense focused at the treatment of his beloved mother. It was not until he had killed the man….not until he heard the shot, not until he saw them dragging her away…
He had not heard nor felt the the shot that had hit him as he was running towards her, and had not seen the shot that had hit her. And even after it registered that they must have killed her in response to his rage, and were now dragging her away…it was only at that sight that he released his hold on the dead mans throat….and it was only then that the fear and the sensation and the understanding and the despair had crashed in upon him …only then did he collapse. And it was then that his heart and his brain and his emotions began the process of unremembering.
