Ten O'clock. Reluctantly, I turn on my computer. I sigh and sit at the keyboard, ready to type. The closet opens and Eos comes timidly into the room. "Anything the matter, hun?" she is obviously worried.
I sigh again, trying to hold back the tears and begin typing. "I'm feeling a bit angsty tonight, Eos. Amelia has been cheating on me. It's over now." One tear escapes, but Eos catches it.
She gets on her knees and wraps her arms around me as I type. We stay like that for a long time, her wings wrapped protectively around me. I cry the whole time. When I am finished typing, I turn around, forcing a smile.
"Thank you, Eos," I say.
She smiles sweetly and kisses away my tears. "Glad to help. You get some rest. Don't worry about Amelia. I didn't like her anyway."
I laugh a bit and she ruffles my hair. "Goodnight, Eos," I say. She returns home and I click save.

He couldn't take it any more. Their moaning and gasps were all too much for him, and he burst from the suffocating hole into the inviting twilight. He sought release from his pain. He needed to feel the physical pain, rather than the emotional pain. In a fit of anger and desperation, his fist came in contact with the boulder again and again. The pain was agonizing, but he could not stop. Blinded by tears he continued, taking out his frustration on his poor hand. His knuckles bled and the rock became stained. Finally he collapsed to the ground and cried silent, empty tears.
