Title: Shattered
Prompt: "tatterdemalion"

I look at him sleeping, nestled in the white linens.

It's hard to believe that only a short time ago, this man was in the clutches of Ba'al.

When he was brought through the Gate, he had no obvious injuries.

But his tatterdemalion clothing showed the truth of what was done to him.

I've seen a lot of things in my line of work...

Thinking about what might have caused some of those holes and tears almost has me hurrying to toilet, retching.

I can only do so much to help with the physical repercussions.

I just hope he lets us help him heal his mind.

Healing is something we all need right now.
