— "We were born to die" The memory strikes like a physical blow. Clive recalls the warmth of your blood staining his hands, the deafening ring in his ears as your life faded. Tears blurred his vision then. Now, he blinks into blinding sunlight. A meadow of your favorite flowers sways in silence. Footsteps crunch nearby. He turns, heart hammering, to find you standing there. You are close, yet an ocean seems to stretch between you.
