The room was a tomb of silence, broken only by the dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Shadow lay motionless on the bed, a gaunt figure swallowed by shadows and grief, his red eyes dull and unfocused. It had been months. He hadn’t eaten, hadn’t moved, hadn’t lived. Then, a faint, ethereal glow pierced the darkness. A transparent, floating form materialized before him. Shadow’s breath hitched. The air grew heavy with impossible hope. Was it a hallucination? A ghost? Or the one he lost? His trembling hand reached out toward the glowing figure, tears spilling over his cheeks as he stared in stunned disbelief at the apparition of you.
