Martin Busck heard the loud sound coming from his brother’s room and looked at his wife.

“What was that?”

She looked at him with anxious eyes. They were both so concerned about David and his state of mind ever since he’d returned from Syria, where he spent ninety days in captivity. He hadn’t been well. They all knew it, but no one knew what to do. All he wanted was for them to leave him alone, he said. There was no way Martin would ever leave his beloved baby brother alone. He loved him way too much for that. Yes, he had been stupid for traveling into a dangerous war-zone like that on his own, but Martin understood him. He knew he had only followed his passion…to tell the important stories that no one else did. And Martin admired him for that. It wasn’t sensible, it wasn’t smart, it wasn’t a choice Martin would ever make, but still he respected his brother’s choice. Martin’s wife, Mathilde had been amazing through the process. She hadn’t even been angry at the fact that they had been forced to sell their house in Aarhus to help pay for his release. They were now deeply in debt, and would never be able to pay it off for the rest of their lives, based on the living they made.

Still, Mathilde never said a word.

“Do what you have to do,” she had said when Martin had told her.

He had never loved her more.

“Go see!” Mathilde said. The baby was crying in her arms.

Martin’s heart was in his throat as he rushed towards the door to David’s room. Many pictures flickered through his mind of what might have happened. He knew David was fragile. He knew he didn’t sleep at night and that he dreaded the day.

What have you done, baby brother?

Martin imagined a whole lot of things as he opened the door to his brother’s room, but he could never have imagined what he saw.

The entire room had sunk into the ground. The bed was sticking up in the middle of it; the dresser was slowly being pulled down.

And so was David.

“HEEELP!”

David hollered and screamed while being pulled down into the huge hole. “Help me. Help me!”

Martin jumped inside the hole and grabbed David’s hand. He was still being pulled into the middle of it. Everything around him was sinking, disappearing into a vast darkness underneath.

Martin held onto his brother’s hand, screaming, pulling it. But his hand was slippery. It was slowly sliding out of Martin’s grip.

“No!” Martin yelled. “Hold on, baby brother. Hold on to me. Don’t let go!”

The force pulling David was strong. The two brothers stared into each other’s eyes, thinking of all the times they had spent together, all the fights they had, all the pranks they had pulled, all the things they had gone through and survived.

Was this the way they were supposed to say goodbye?

No, dear God. Not like this. Please. Don’t let the ground swallow him!

Voices were screaming behind Martin and he felt hands on his shoulders as someone tried to pull him up.
