A/N 2: Thank you for your reviews.
Blood dripping between fingers, he staggers against bamboo stalks. Staining the dirt red (as he tainted the lives of whomever he touched).
The tragic hero in his own story; his fatal flaw brings about his downfall.
Body collapsing against rough, tumbled earth – position all-too familiar – an ear presses to the ground; trying futilely to hear the Island one last time. (Did he in the first place?)
Only regret is felt, coupled with a longing for someone far out of reach. The mistake he cannot erase.
A plane flies overhead. He prays (irony not lost on him) she made it on. The world fades away before guilt overwhelms him.
