Why...

...have you walked this path?

"What do you remember?"

How could you be so heartless?

I close my eyes. "I was... a hero."

They didn't die on impact. They bled out. Slowly. Days of endless pain. It would have been torturous. Why did you do it?

Her lips curled into a comforting smile, but it did nothing against the onslaught of memories.

"Margulis must have been proud."

...is all this because...

...of me?

I tried to smile at her.

"Yes." I lied. In my heart, I knew what the real answer was.
