Days Gone By

After all these years, Steve’s memory is as sharp as the day he received the serum. Some days, it’s a blessing. Some days, it’s a curse. Some days, it’s all he has left.

He shouldn’t be here today. He knows past him is due here any minute. But, Peggy’s near her end. Each day with her becomes more precious.

Steve steps into the nursing facility hallway just in time to see his younger self walk to her room. He’s old enough now to be unrecognizeable, and he was so caught up in his grief the first time around, he never realized this hallway reunion took place until today.

He listens at the door. She doesn’t recognize him anymore. But, today is one of her better days. She recognizes his younger self.

He listens and remembers.
