HER EYES BURNED WITH A PASSIONATE REVULSION AS she beckoned for me to let her go. I took a deep breath as I prepared to adhere to her demands. As I released her, we both floated in midair for what seemed to be an eternity before she finally began her decent.
I shuttered as I watched her sink deeper into her impending doom. I had let my despair get the better of me, and in doing so, I had let go of the one thing in this world that I could not live without.
She was silent and as still as a shadow as she plummeted toward the ground beneath her. Despite the distance that separated us, I could still see the hatred that burned in her eyes as she inched closer to her death.
The moon rose higher in the frozen sky as I too began to sink into the nothingness below.
Soon her body would collide with the earth and mine would shortly follow. Despite my hopes, I knew that I could not follow her in death.
