The cigar slipped from Ken’s mouth as the tears rolled. His shoulders shuddered up and down as the grief swelled through him. That connection, borne since birth, was broken - gone. His brother was gone and Ken was left behind. Leonard would live on, in some way, through Glen. But Ken had no-one now that Lenny had died.
The only thing that buoyed him was the chance to see how Glen would turn out. But he doubted he would live that long.
