And One Remains

The moon was at its fullest and cast a ghostly glow around the lone figure that knelt in a small clearing in the woods away from any humans. Tears and sweat dripped down his face as he sniffed and tried to stop the sobs that were escaping from his mouth. He was using a piece of thick bark to dig a shallow grave so he could lay his brother to rest. His hands cramped and the splinter dug into his palm but he continued to scrap out the dirt making it big enough for his brother's lifeless body. No amount of comfort would help him get over the tragedy he had suffered through. This was all his fault and he wasn't able to save him like he promised. For that, he would have to live with the rest of his life.
