Here is my new fic everyone! Yes it starts very…very….very darkly!
The Departed
Thud
Another
pile of heavy sand to add to the ever growing mound.
Thud
A salty tear spilled down her cheek following the path of the tears already cried that day.
Thud
The memory of their last night together in the bed that they had shared for many months.
Thud
A mental image of those emotive green eyes the last time she had seen them staring at her. Trying to say thousands of unspoken words.
Crack
The shovel finally hit harder, more compacted ground and she slowly stood straightening her back and wiping her forehead as beads of sweat tricked down onto her delicate eyebrows. Her headscarf abandoned where she had flung it on the ground beside the fresh grave.
Why…why did this have to occur? They had been so happy. Both finding peace and solace in one another's arms after a lifetime of hurt and disappointment.
The sun was sinking lower and lower in the sky but the heat of the day remained. She could feel it seeping through the sandals on her feet and wondered what she would do now.
Now he was gone.
Djaq stared at the grave with lifeless eyes.
Will was gone.
