Bottom of the River
He's tired.
There is only road ahead and road behind.
He was running from something.
What was he running from?
He stumbles, he can't drag himself further.
Yet he continues.
He has to.
He takes a step before he falls.
The ground is so cold compared to his burning skin.
He looks into the river.
And it's impossible but yet there's Riley smiling back up at him.
His hair is glossy and styled up just the way he always had it before.
It's impossible but yet there he was.
Riley gives him a stunning smile, and he forgets.
He forgets that he's running.
Forgets where he's headed.
Forgets Steve.
He's tired.
And Riley is smiling, holding his hand out.
"Hold my hand, It's a long way down."
