The light faded from Tommy's eyes, and then they closed. And, for the first time since that fateful night camping, he seemed at peace. Merton collapsed, as a strange sensation surged through his body. He felt the wound on his neck, and noticed that it was nearly gone. He looked at Tommy's lifeless body. Suddenly, and strangely, he turned transparent. His body literally faded away, and the knife hovered in the air for a moment, and then clattered to the floor.
"That was like the 1983 classic George Lucas film, Return of the Jedi"
Merton awaited the usual "What happened?". But it never came. Of course, it would never again come. The idea of what he had just done started to sink in.
"Why had he made me do that?" Merton said to himself, as the warm tears ran down his face. He picked up the knife, and held it to his body, and cried more.
Merton tried to stand, but he was too exhausted. So he slept, alone, on the hard concrete. Far in the distance, he heard a wolf howl.
