Thought they go mad they shall be sane
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And Death Shall Have No Dominion
Promise of Always

" Damn you! Damn you! You promised me how can you leave me like this?"
Tears rolled down his face making his eyes seem even bluer. His normally immaculate braid was disheveled, his clothes were wrinkled and soiled, what day is this anyway? Mentally he shrugged who cares, he felt devastated his head lowered to the bed of one of the few remaining people that meant the world to him. Death was destroying his world yet again.
" Mr. Maxwell, I'm sorry we need you to step outside the room now."
" No! No way, lady I can't leave."
The nurse nodded compassionately, " just for a moment honest as soon as we're done the doctor will want to speak with you." Is there the nurse paused before delicately probing, any family or friends we should contact the file was not as complete as we..."
" No! He raised a shaking hand, I'm sorry it's just the two of us any questions you have ask me he shuddered.." All right Mr. Maxwell, the nurse soothed why don't you step out now and as soon as we are finished you can return."
He stood by the waiting room window watching the gradual lightening of the sky, dawn it looked like it was going to be a beautiful day he loathed it. All he saw was a replay of the shuttle faltering, before flipping end over end. He closed his eyes fists clenched nothing he did erased that image from his mind it would be etched there until he died. The last few days had been hell, he thought as his finger abruptly ran down the blind slats, but then his life had very few moments free of hell or death for that matter.
" Just when I was starting to think of the future, he whispered looking at his hands why do I always end up alone?"
The door opened and closed quietly, Duo swung around his stomach plummeted when he saw the grim look on the doctor's face. He knew it Death was here, and who better than his disciple to recognize his presence
" Mr. Maxwell ?"
Duo nodded, " Doc please just tell me."
The doctor pulled off his glasses, " Mr. Maxwell I will not offer you false hope. I think that if you have anyone you want or need to contact the time to do that is now."
Duo's breath froze, he felt empty how can you live without your heart's treasure he thought inanely.
" Mr. Maxwell? Mr. Maxwell ! ?? Duo, the doctor softly clasped his shoulder, is there anyone we can call to be here with you? "
Duo jerkily shook his head, " how long he whispered hoarsely?"
Dr Baye nodded with resignation. " It won't be much longer now."
Duo stared at him with eyes glazed in pain, "can I go in now? "
Dr. Baye squeezed his shoulder gently, "of course son and I am so terribly sorry."
Duo stepped around him pushing open the door, he hesitated glancing back over his shoulder, "hey Doc! He called softly, " thanks for trying."
Dr. Baye nodded, watching him go in he stood there a moment longer tapping the Bio unit against his leg. He sighed, he had seen that look all to many times during the war, eyes that had seen to much death and destruction.
" Shit..."
Frustrated he slapped the med unit once more against his leg before heading down the hall.
I have written very few fan fiction stories and those I have seemingly are enjoyed I finally worked up the nerve to post one I was challenged to write. I hope by the time I finish this one will have touched someone else as well.
The above poem was by Dylan Thomas 1936. It's said Mr. Thomas was a firm believer in reincarnation in one form of another.. So somehow this I hope will be appropriate/clear by the time I finish editing the rest of the story.
