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
