The Protector
Based on a dream I had last night, so I hope you all enjoy.
________________________________
It happened again.
I am walking down the stairs at Disney
Up ahead, I see this kid standing by the railing
his parents further ahead
I can't see them. He can't see them.
My sis and I next in line
we stop we wait
for him to notice us
he sees
He grabs both the railings jumpsdown and misses it.
Over he goes. I look over, hear a thud and glance down
He lays there, panicking. Hand over his throat. choking
I think for a bit and Identify "He swallowed his tongue" I call
I glance over the railing try and spot a landing.
I jump and slide down the tree landing perfectly
I glance over and dart to his side.
looking over the crowd, I beckon for help.
A cast member spots me and approaches
The situation gets worse.
I turn him over and reach down pull his tongue out like I have been before.
A cast member hops the railing, carrying some water
we give it to him, he gains his bearings looks up "who are you"
"A protector," I respond, examining. I ask, "Can you move anything?"
Upper body is fine, Lower body not so much. I look over, Cast member calls a medic.
Time ticks by.
Scared, I fear the worst.
They arrive.
I ask the boy for his parent's number
he gives it to me. I call.
"Who is it?" A voice asks.
"The protector" I respond.
