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?
