THEY - Epilogue

I held her close. She wouldn't make it, I knew that. The wound was too deep. I could see the moonlight in her tears. She tried to smile and with a great effort said, “I love you. Embrace me. Take me away.”

And then she was still. Mine for all eternity

.....and very still.

It’s been a year. How I hate her, all this time I thought we loved each other.

Fool! She never had love for you! It’s time to act! If she is not yours, she can’t be anybody else’s.

I will extinguish her tonight. I won’t suffer more.

I don’t care anymore.

SHE

How foolish I was to leave him. How much he loved me. Always gentle, always caring. How did I ever dream of being away from him? A year since I last saw him, I must go to him.

Here I come my love.

I love you. Embrace me. Take me away.

I don’t care anymore.
