Acquiesce

"It's time," she says.

I sigh. This "life's" growing weary. Sometimes I wonder if there'll ever be an end to it all.

The fighting.

The changing.

The killing.

The feeling.

None of it's mine, and yet I bear it all, thanks to my...gift.

I glance around, then look at her again. So many, this time.

"All of them?" I ask, though I know the answer.

She nods curtly. "They've served their purpose, Major."

Her tone is mocking and a reminder that this is my duty. Still, I try to persuade her.

"Have Peter help," she says with finality.

I nod.
