Her partially numb fingers subconsciously tried moving around the satin white sheets of the hospital bed but every movement proved abortive and was barred by a severe pain that flowed through the young woman's battered up body. The state of being dead isn't suppose to be painful is it? Death comes with absolute numbness to everything and every one around you. It is a peaceful darkness that embraces you. It pulls you into its forever dark abyss and shuts down all your senses. It makes you forget both your pain and your happiness.

Inside, the fluorescent light flickered slightly, bathing everything in a pale glow. Two bodies lay on the metal tables, covered in white sheets. Dennis nodded to the attendant, who slowly pulled the sheets down. Amara’s scream shattered the silence. The sound pierced through the cold air, sharp and raw. She rushed forward, collapsing beside the first body — Martins. The man who once filled her days with laughter, who had stood beside her when the world turned its back, now lay still, pale, lifeless. Her trembling hands hovered over his face before she finally touched his cheek. “No… no!” she screamed again, her voice echoing off the walls.

With that, I walked away for good. Just me, my scars, and my sorrow. They only felt the weight of my departure when I was truly out of sight. I left with nothing but a single photograph. "Kelvin just doesn't get it," Jeff mused, his voice tinged with frustration. "Throwing a fit like that, what does he hope to gain? Even if he storms back to that orphanage, it won't be long before it's torn down for new buildings. Why go through all this trouble?

I could barely feel my own limbs anymore; everything was numb, cold, distant. As I teetered on the edge of consciousness, the thought slipped from my lips in a faint, trembling whisper, barely louder than the rain. Let this be it… let me finally find peace.” The world grew darker, like a thick veil had fallen over me. The pain in my body dulled, fading into a strange kind of comfort, as if I were drifting away from everything I’d ever known. I was ready to let go, to welcome the oblivion that was slowly pulling me under.

That tenderness, I realized, was something I only ever felt from him in the secrecy of our nights together, something I would never experience again. After snapping their final kiss, the camera felt like a lead weight in my hands, and I passed it back to Wendy. She accepted it with a grin, showering me with compliments on my photography skills. Chester must have sensed my distress and asked if I was okay. I kept my gaze low, blinked back the sting of tears, and forced a wide smile. "I'm okay," I lied. He did not question me further and motioned for me to leave. As the door shut behind me, their laughter echoed, a stark contrast to the silence of my own heart.

Eyes still fixed on his screen, Jerry asked absently, "Who was that?" "Jimmy Norwood from the Warwolf pack. He needed me for something." He let out a vague hum, barely registering my answer. This time, I didn't even bother calling him out on it. I tapped out my resignation letter on my phone. "Why didn't you light the calming incense? You know how stressed I've been at work. I can't sleep without it." He finally looked at me, and I could see the blame in his eyes. "I was busy. I forgot."

And in this lifetime, we'd never see each other again. Once my phone went dead, the only thing left for them was my maggot-ridden body and the farewell gift I had so carefully prepared.
