Searching For My Shadow – Epilogue
Dr. Crane stands at the foot of Raphael's grave. It has been a full year since the boy had died. When he looks at the tombstone and the grave angel carved out of pale stone that watches over decaying flesh and bone, he remembers.
A hand, moving swift across the paper, a flawless drawing blooming from the tip of the pencil.
A pair of spectacles, only recognisable as a twisted mess of glass and metal.
A grape-juice moustache, adorning the upper lip of an otherwise pale and expressionless face.
A broken boy tinkering with a set of apparatus in his room, trying to fight fear with fear.
Fingering the Scarecrow's mask in his briefcase, he refuses to acknowledge the final image of a boy's face torn apart by fear, consumed by the shadow he was searching for.
A single blue flower adorns the tombstone of Raphael Peacock.
