It was raining. Water pounding on the ground in an endless rhythm, dark grey

clouds battling for dominance with a black sky. But, then again, it seemed fitting. There

He looked back at the headstone before walking away as sobs engulfed him. Just

minutes after he walked away, a fist shot up from beneath the muddy ground.
