The Beginning of the Change

The building falls.
Nothing can be done to stop it.
A Wife screams.
Brothers cry out.
A body is dug out.
But it is already too late.

The news spreads.
A Fathers heart shatters.
A Daughter collapses.
Cousins move to support.
A Son's resentment is complete.

The funeral is held.
Ashes are spread.
A memorial is built.

The Sprout steps up.
He will lead until the next leader can.
The Daughter takes over her Fathers 'Bird.
The Son walks away.

The ghost of Scott Carpenter Tracy watches it all.

Notes: So yeah, I have kind of always seen Scott dying in action doing the job he loves, I may expand on this in the future.
