she looked at his legs as he walked surely and steadily towards her. she studied every muscle that moved against the floor. studying those legs which walked beside her through life. studying those same legs which carried her when she fell, and supported her when she cried. studying those pair of legs which now carried an absolute, and nothing in the world could've been more important than this.
she quavered at the terrible thoughts that consumed her - yet all were possibilities in the infinite world they stood in. as the peripheral world of sounds grew quiet in her mind, only his footsteps resounded hollow. his footsteps echoed like in some twilight zone movie.
she smiled at him. his lips reciprocated; curving up little, just that little.
he brought news of her husband's passing before, but this was new to him. he loved her dearly, and she did him - but he would've given everything to do away with this moment they shared.
she fell quietly into his embrace, appreciating his nearness.
"i'm sorry."
and she broke down.
there was nothing left, or so it seemed - last was her husband, and now her son. she loathed the man, now sober, who took her son away from her, and yet she loved him for bringing her only child to his father.
she cried for days.
how do you live on after death?
with much difficulty, but live on we shall.
please don't drink and drive.
