Split second. It is used to define a short period of time, but exactly how short? The answer lies within moments like this. The moments in which you have to make a decision. An instant decision. A decision that can effect lives of more than just one. And in a split second, you’ve made a decision. The lesson you learned at 7th grade led you to this decision. Sometimes, you need to risk yourself and put yourself in the middle, to get all the rewards in every corner. To keep every possible ally alive.
