I think the disjointed, frantic storytelling works well here, but I’m not massively sure about the plot itself… Was there not an alternative? Could she have pulled him out the way instead of leaping in front?

The idea of a lover’s sacrifice is told with maturity and flair, but I think the thread tying it all together is a bit frayed. MH :)

Wow. Things people do for love, that’s why she jumped in front, Ed.

Anyway, I think this could’ve been better read if it were separated into paragraphs, but it was good nonetheless.

you left out a ‘heard’ in the sentence about running feet..
but well told story! how was she able to see that? and i hope they got her help in time..though the ending does seem rather final.
