Man Down

I heard my phone go, a text. I remember looking at it wishing I could reach out and grab it, but it was an effort, a big effort. It was a message from a colleague...it read "man down". So that was another one, dropping like flies. I've been floored all last week, 3 whole days in actual bed, everything else a blur, other than a general understanding half of my colleagues have the same. Now the sweats have stopped, but the banging head and thick chest remain. I've never felt this before. And the running...no, not even a thought.
