"Overstepping Eternity"
Will watched the land retreat with longing in his eyes. His hand raised in a silent goodbye. The man standing on the shore, an older reflection of him, lifted his own hand in response. Will closed his eyes and turned away, thinking how bizaare... how wrong it was for a father to be over three decades younger than his son.
He supposed he would still visit in ten years, as had been his custom for so long. But he knew that from here on in, each trip would be shorter than the last. It was just too painful to visit and know that she would not be waiting for him. To know that cold stone would be all he could see of her now.
Until this trip, he had not understood the true situtation he'd been placed in. Not really. Eternity. Immortality. Without Elizabeth. He silently walked past his crew and went below deck. No one stopped him. They had seen this pain before.
And they had seen the monster it had created.
Author's Note: This was originally just going to be a one-shot, but the story is begging to be expanded... so I've broken the storyline of the original up, and am adding to it bit by bit. Sorry the prologue was so short. I do that sometimes. The rest of the chapters will be longer.
Thanks for reading. Please review.
P.S. Thanks to Warg who did a far more effective (and pretty much more accurate) quick edit job for me! And here's a reminder to all to all that I'm a proud member of Bakabokken's KQEC (Kill Quick Edit Clan)! Check out her bio page to join!
