On His Knees
Ruby, as if she had finally worn herself out, gestured for the bodyguards to let Micah go. She raised her foot and brought it down hard on his bruised face, her expression feigning pity.
She scornfully remarked, "See? Even your father didn't want you. How tragic."
The elevator doors slowly slid shut. Only Micah remained, his small frame curled tight against the cold tile floor.
I dropped to my knees beside him, knowing that it was hopeless but still trying to lift him anyway. It was completely useless.
