Drabble – Go
She has just left, my young wife, trying to hide her tears from me. So young, innocent and afraid, I have no words to comfort her.
She knows.
It is Alexander I need to see; I know my time is coming to an end.
I am dying.
Hurry Alexander, I can feel the life leaving me with each pain that racks my body.
He doesn't know.
He doesn't realize I am leaving him for a while. But I will wait on the other side for him to join me.
He comes to my bedside…take my hand Alexander…then let me go.
