Why this must be read: Beautiful, tragic, sad. This is a short fic and I don’t want to give too much away. A prayer for forgivness from a brother who wants what he can't have.

this is how we pray

No church this, just another hotel room, dump really, bed and not much else, a carpet the color of vomit and the sun slanting through the curtains catching on the dusty air but it shines on my brother and paints him saintly

and I'm kneeling before him barely thinking about it, his hands folding over mine, ours folding together and we start to say the Hail Mary

and I speak the words while watching his pulse beating under the Virgin, the black-ink madonna on his neck

and I want it.
