In Thomas Elson's flash fiction His Butterfly, a seventy-eight-year-old man momentarily escapes his physical ailments and current reality, reverting to a traumatic childhood memory. As he navigates a familiar pharmacy, he vividly relives the painful moment of falling from a tree, marked by a bleeding injury and memories of post-war struggles.
