The scene was a mess. Bits of broken plane scattered throughout the forest like fragments of a shattered mirror. The survivors seemed lost with pain etched across their faces. Never ending streams poured from their eyes as they stared at the wreckage which made up their surroundings. What would happen to them was unknown. If this would be their final resting place, the middle of an unknown forest surrounded by a destroyed airplane was yet to be decided by some unknown gods. Their lives, like the plane were literally broken.
One life had already passed on. An empty body layed buried beneath a broken engine, the last smile still in place from the idea of a happy future which had been promised as they breathed one last time. The rest all huddled into the remainders of the body of the plane. Hoping against hope that they would see the sun rise and with is a chance of returning to the world that they so often took for granted. Delusion had set in with one survivor still hoping that what he had witnessed would be a dream. That he would wake up in the morning and the pain in his chest would be gone, and that his heart wouldn't hurt so much with the loss which he knew deep down could not be reversed. But as he lay in the lap of a friend he knew that whatever happened to him, she would be there, always.
As the sun began setting sending out shards of colour across the land he thought he saw her face smiling at him from a distance. She was still waiting for him to come, but not just yet. The stars burst out into the deep night's sky scattering their light across the injured, keeping them safe in the foreign lands they had reached. Then once again the sun rose spilling a new day out into the expecting world. As his eyes flickered open he saw her once again, waiting for him. He knew in that moment that it was time to go. As he rose feeling no pain he walked towards her reaching out his hand. She returned the offer and together they clasped hands so tightly to make sure they never let go.
'We're meant to be you and I.' He said as he lead her onwards.
'Meant to be' she replied.
Then they continued into the unknown sunlight leaving no footprints behind in their wake, only broken memories of a story from another life.
