"Where's Jack?"
She questions them with an authority she doesn't feel. The force of her words seem hollow, echoing in the vacuum of silence that has suddenly befallen their little group. Her arm falls heavily to her side, a gun dropping into the sand with a dull thud.
Her legs feel like weights, trudging forward slowly as if they already know what her heart doesn't want to know.
Everyone avoids her gaze; stances full of pity as they part one by one, the only survivors of a war no one wanted to fight. It's torment where none should exist.
The shadow of death lays before her. Finally peaceful.
