Bert closed his eyes and cursed. Everyone called him Nancy Norman; it was just a joke, for God’s sake! And it wasn’t as if he was insulting Jim – his brother seemed to have lost his sense of humour. He tried to fuel his indignation, but instead found himself swallowing back the self-pitying tears he could feel rising in his throat as he thought back over the last few months.

He punched the mattress with his good arm, wincing as the force jolted his shoulder, but that pain was nothing compared to the searing agony he felt at the thought that he might have lost his brother thanks to his stupid big mouth.

A hand touched his arm gently. ‘Everything all right, Bert?’ It was the same soothing voice that had comforted him through his nightmares, but he wasn’t sure anything could make him feel better right now.

He turned his head away. ‘Please, go away.’

‘Jim’ll be back,’ the nurse said. ‘Just be patient.’

He wished he could believe it. But the old Jim and Bert were dead and buried and nothing could ever bring them back.
