After a week of struggling to start the new chapter of Who Holds the Power, I feel like I finally got it going in a direction that I feel good about! Thank you all so much for putting up with my moaning, lol. (Really hoping the improvement comes across, even though y'all didn't see the trash fire the first version was 😅)
After endless minutes of torment, the lights finally came back up to their full brightness, illuminating Eddie slumped on the floor by the stage, clutching the edge of the structure for support. Although, with his eyes squeezed shut, he couldn't tell the difference whether the lights were back on or not. His shoulders trembled with the effort of keeping himself held upright. His chest heaved with every breath he fought to drag in through the slowly, slowly fading pain that had burned through him from the inside out.
Breathless as he was, Eddie mustered up enough air to hiss between his slowly steadying gasps, "Fucking…hell…"
Cursing his current circumstances felt only too right, small though the satisfaction was.
