17. Lisa sits with Tony

The Runt had been sitting with Tony for the past two hours. Tony hardly spoke just the occasional grunt when the pain got bad. When Lisa walked in, it was her turn to keep watch for a while. She didn’t mind. Tony was her friend too. The Runt didn’t even pause to say hi. He stood up, eyes determined, and said, “I’m going to find medicine for Tony.” Then he was gone.
