THE END
While He Was Dying
Arthur was floating in darkness and silence. Gradually, it lifted slightly and he heard a distant voice.
“I tried to save him.” “He can’t die, it is my destiny to protect him.” “He’s my friend.”
Then there were strange words. He should know that voice, it was familiar. Silence and darkness enveloped him once more.
Then he heard words of hope, but they were from a different softer voice.
Slowly, the darkness, silence, and voices vanished. Arthur was home in his bed with his father at his side. He remembered the soft voice, but he couldn’t recall the other one.
