The wind whipped across the frozen ground. Pain rippled inside his chest as he looked upon her grave. Tears did not fall from his eyes.
All of the other mourners had left for the false warmth of the wake. He sighed, the wind stealing his breath. He knelt next to the freshly turned ground, his hands curled into balls at his side.
He knew that it should have been him in the cold embrace, not her. She had pushed him out of the way. She had known what she was doing, gladly trading her life for his. She hadn't known that it would be for naught. That he couldn't face the bleakness of life without her. She had been his reason for living.
A single person came up the hill towards him. "Are you coming, Jack?"
"I'll be right there." He responded, not facing the invader. He reached down, grasping the earth that separated them.
His friend slowly turned away and walked back down the hill.
"I'll be right there." He whispered to the silent earth under his hands.
The single shot echoed across the cemetery.
His friend paused at the base of the hill reluctant to go back up the hill and see what he knew he would find. At least they were together now, at the very end. He would make sure that they would lie side by side in death as they could not in life.
The End
