Where Joy is Born

Burl ran faster than Jimmy had ever seen him run. As he ran, he tripped over a root, falling flat on the ground with his face skidding through the spruce needles. Gasping for breath, he quickly crawled onto his knees to stand. Mustering his strength, he ran off again to get help.

Jimmy felt like crying. It was cooler now and the wind was stronger. As he covered his brother with his jacket, he noticed the ring on his thumb. He removed it and slipped it into his pocket. With his thumb and forefinger, he gently pried open the lids on one of his brother's eyes. When his eye stared back without any recognition, this frightened him even more. Tears welled up in his eyes, overflowing onto his cheeks as he prayed and scanned the horizon for help.
