Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

the parking lot of a CVS two minutes from your house the backseat of a four door sedan your sister starts to shake against the door heaving, sniffling sobs her breath fogs against the glass exhale exhale exhale we should go home he says eventually the girls are upset you have never seen him cry before in bed you pull the sheet over your head and smear tears across the backs of your hands the phone screen is too bright 2-5 years the internet says there is no cure
