Eclipse of the Dead
But now, as night fell, the camp was quieter, and the tension that had plagued us all day began to loosen, if only slightly.
Ethan and I found a quiet corner away from the others, near the edge of the camp. The sounds of distant chatter and the soft crackle of the campfire were the only things breaking the silence. We stood there for a moment, simply looking at each other. The weight of the world seemed to lift, even if just for a second.
“You know,” I said, breaking the quiet, “I never thought I’d be here, doing this, with you.”
Ethan raised an eyebrow, his expression softening. “Why? Because of the world ending and all?”
