Light.

Too much heat.

The world falls away.

Too late

No

I'm not

I did it.

For Jonathan, a few feet away.

For Dess, across the street.

For Rex and Melissa, out in Jenks.

For Beth.

For Bixby.

For the world.

I can't breathe.

What will happen to me now?

Sheer power has control

Bursts out in a torrent

Feels like part of me is being ripped away.

Three more times

It worked.

The rip is closing.

Samhain is ending.

Normal time is coming.

But I'm fading away.

And then…

Darkness.
