........................

Once, I told Willow that it felt like I couldn't breathe; That it felt like I was drowning all over again.

He left and what I knew was to come was fulfilled. I am back in the deep, penetrating darkness that I cannot escape alone; the barren and rampaging demons. Air comes and goes. In. Out. In. Out.

Does it hurt? You should ask someone who can give you a straight answer.

He is gone.

He has left.

I told her that it felt like I couldn't breathe. Now, I really am just trying to keep from dying.

He is gone.

He has left.

I move and act and show them what they want to see.

But I am not trying anymore.

I walk, I talk, I shop, I sneeze, and I don't sleep on a bed of bones. And I will be there when the tide comes in.

But He is Gone.

He has Left.

I'm just an empty predator.

Now I must just wait for the nest to be Called.
