I stand in the desolation of the lost, remote space I once called my soul…no light shines here…not even a flicker…there is no light anymore…Sam…who was my light…my shining example of human compassion and grace…is gone…tempted away to the darkness. "If you can't save him…you'll have to kill him…" those words had haunted me…in the end…I had failed to do both…I knew he was keeping secrets…had I known then, the depth of their darkness…the ease at which they seemed to infiltrate his soul and take over…I would have died a thousand times to bring him back to the light…
