I felt nothing standing over her body, it was too still as if someone pushed mute. The silence was so vast, it hurt. Her blood was still crawling, slithering through the grass, moving slowly, cautiously pooling at the base of the plants as though to overcome them. I felt no urge to linger yet I couldn’t run away, how did it get this crazy, this unreal. Like I was looking through someone else’s eyes.
I had screamed, somehow I couldn’t hear it, I couldn’t feel it, not till my throat became raw, till my mind couldn’t make sense of it, and for the first time in more than a thousand worlds… she died… right there, right in my arms, with all my abilities, with all my knowledge, with everything I had seen, all I had done, why couldn’t I keep her safe… it was all trash, all these memories I had treasured, why couldn’t I save her?? Why?? Then it all went quiet …
I don’t Care … not anymore.
Tick… tick… tick…
