25.Remembering
They ran, and those that couldn't flee bowed before me. Their god. And I remembered this world and what I had done, and drew apart into the trees and vomited up the feeling of shame.
I could not help them then and their screams haunt my nights.
I know it wasn't me, and yet it was, and what I have done will remain a part of me forever. Part of who I am.
I've endured.
Changed, but not beaten.
Wiping my mouth, I walked back to my team.
Yes, I'm fine.
I smile, because what else can I do.
There aren't tears enough to be had.
The End
