“The blast tore from me like a supernova, leaving nothing but death and ash
in its wake and I arched my spine as it spilled through me and into the world,
carrying an endless echo of my pain with it to touch every corner of this star
cursed earth and make sure that everyone residing on it felt it too.
I fell forward as the last of it burned its way free of me, sobs cutting from
my body in harsh waves which wouldn’t be denied as I fell over the body of
the man I’d stolen back from the stars and pressed my ear against the heart
which would never beat for me again, begging fate to change its mind while my tears were the only answer I was gifted.
But as I broke over the loss of the only man I’d ever loved.”
