Why?
Alex stood in the open paddock staring up at the blue sky.
He wondered how he was going to go on without her. He wondered if he would even survive.
It had taken them 15 years to realize that they were in love. But it had only taken an instant for all of that love to evaporate into thin air.
Alex sunk to his knees as he began to shout to the sky above him with the hope that someone up there would answer his question, "Why? Why did you take her?"
When there was no answer Alex became overcome with grief. His head fell into his hands, and he let out all the feelings which had become entrapped within him since the accident.
His sobs echoed through the empty paddock as he grieved for the one he loved – his soul mate, Claire Louise McLeod.
