Today I watched someone get knocked out with words.
I've heard of this happening before, but never witnessed it. Until today.
It was as if the words struck, fist clenched, colliding against the jaw. One swift collision. I watched the blink of shock behind the force of the words cause the person to physically stumble.
I stood powerless to help. Should I pretend I hadn't seen it? Should I rush over to comfort and console? I froze trying to remain expressionless waiting for some clue as to how to proceed.
Ignore. Move on. Keep treading. That was the route chosen. For better or worse I followed.
