Sorry Kyla...it is gonna happen...

I keep staring at the place where my life changed.

My body grows cold as the sun sinks lower in the sky.

I could go back the way I came…

Or go forward.

I know it will be dark soon and I should go back to the car.

Back to the hospital.

But instead I start down the fire trail.

If I had looked behind me I would have seen her.

But my eyes were on my feet and the dirt below me.

How would I feel when they lowered Emmett into the ground…

And covered him with dirt.

Devastated.
