His Last War

 

When he was a kid his eyelids would flutter as they opened. The sandman had come, he had always come. His eyes would itch, they would be lead weights. He would open them reluctantly, he would yawn as he climbed out of bed. His mouth was a black hole sucking in the world. Words came slowly to such a black hole, they came reluctantly, sluggish.

He was famous for it. His mother would have to call on him half a dozen times to get him up for school. Other kids on the block knew that if they knocked for him before ten am on a Saturday they would be turned away. ‘He’s still in his coma,’ his mother would tell them, and they would wait patiently for him to return to this world.
