Eight seconds at a time. That's how you beat the bull. Survive the ride. Win.
Eight seconds at a time.
It's been drilled into me for as long as I can remember. To help me focus. Manage my fear. Stay in control.
Eight seconds at a time.
I can do anything eight seconds at a time.
Even get over her.
Riot.
When she disappeared, it was all I could think to do. Keep breathing. Keep moving. Keep living.
Eight seconds at a time.
Until eight seconds turned to eight minutes. Eight hours. Eight days. Eight weeks. Eight months.
And finally, eight years.
Only now she's back.
And I know the only way I'm getting through this, is eight seconds at a time.
