Not a full drabble, just a demi-drabble from the scene in "the Deal" where Benny gets hurt.

Catch me on a better day

I'm running. Faster and faster and not fast enough. I have to get there in time, he's hurt. Stop it. Stop hurting him. No! Stop!

I'm almost there. Blood. He's bleeding. I can't. Faster, faster. I'm running.

Dark hallways. I see faces, not his. Is this what dying feels like?
