Alex:

Peaceful.

Dark.

Where am I?

The pain I expected to feel, mind you, wanted to feel in my gut wasn't there.

I needed to know I wasn't gone.

Why had I suggested this? I knew it would happen.

I also knew something inside of me wanted to leave.

But something else wanted me to stay.

...

Elizabeth:

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I tried to recall the night before. He had stayed awake, told me to sleep again, that he would come back to bed soon. As I feel the bed for him, my hand finds a paper in place of him. His spot is cold. Had he already gone to his meeting? I sit up and strech my muscles. I bring myself to read the note.

….

….no

No this isn't happening.

I should have known..

I should have made him come to bed.

This is my fault…

...

Aaron:

I shouldn't have. I could have been noble, done the right thing. I could have been careful.

No.

I am the careful one.

He is hasty.

But in the time it mattered most…

I rushed.

I made a mistake.

I must leave.

...

Nathan:

Being a good friend, I said yes.

I didn't think it would end like this.

...

Doc:

His wounds are fatal.

He isn't going to make it through this.

How am I going to tell his wife?
