His vision was blurry and obscured. His head rested on the cold damp stone sidewalk. He reached towards the people walking away from him. no…..he screamed in his head. no. I’m not gone yet!

She clutched at her husbands hand as he whispered it would be okay. Soon it was over. The doctor walked over with a bundle in a blue blanket. The woman and her husband smiled. Both had wanted a son for such a long time. The doctor handed the bundle to the couple. Tears of happiness stung at there eyes as the saw him for the first time. “he’s beautiful…” the man said, as he reached out and touched him.

This was one of the reasons he loved it here. He loved the peaceful silence, and the beautiful darkness that would soon follow the setting of the sun.
