That day came…
No one ever thought that day would come…but it came all the same, with swiftness even. His unnatural and untimely death was indeed devastation to all. Those closest to him in particular took it hard. Sacrificing everything in order to see him smiling, scowling, it really didn't matter which. The need to see him was there. Though, each knew the effort was in vain. Breaking all laws, risking the same fate.
He shouldn't have died that way. He deserved so much better. After everything he did for the people. Hero of the People was his name. He had done so much for the community, never asking for anything in return. Yet, he gets stabbed in the back, almost literal except it being his front. He could have died by old age or even some unheard of disease. It would have been noble, no? Instead, he was tricked. Tricked into seeing a face that brought back so much loneliness, to the point that it caused him to drop his guard. Everyone screamed for him to remain on this side of the gate. The screams echoed throughout the old dance floor, reaching his ears several times. He too was in shock. How could this have happened? He was the invincible! This was just unheard of!
But, no matter how much we didn't want to believe it, that day came. We knew it would eventually. It's just, no one thought it would come so soon.
