The shadows dance upon the sodden flesh of Mother Earth. The silver satellite is high, near its fully exposed state. Moonbeams and star- streams prod at the coniferous treetop, demanding to further their journey unto the floor and cast away the dominating dancers. But the branched foliage will have none of it and stand stubborn, refusing to grant the light permission to pass. War is waged, there is one victor. The floor, though remaining beneath the cover of vegetation, is now bathed with the light's purity.

In the air was a sense of heated anger, disgust, and utter hatred. Underlying was the unmistakable scent of death's approach. The screams of agony have long since been silenced, but their hollow echo continues to haunt the darkness. A breeze was born, wafting softly, innocently, unknowingly through the leaves and branches, whispering secrets untold. Carried upon it's cool gentleness was the stench of metallic copper, weighing down the jovial breeze with it's heaviness.

Breathing slows, the darkness beckoning; inviting. Pain has diminished, replaced with a knowledge of approaching departure. A final breath is drawn, whisper escaping as life slips past, leaving behind a memory as it flees onward towards further adventures.

"Virginia..."
