He runs his bloodied fingers through her locks.
How did he not recognize her until now? Even with a different hair color, it's still so clearly his Lucy . . .
He had loved her yellow hair. He would let it run through his proud fingers like golden water, like tangible sunrays.
He clutches the dirty maroon strands. He remembers that the hair of Egyptian mummies changed to red too, after death. She was dying before he murdered her.
The knowledge brings no comfort.
There's no pride in his fingers when he unbuttons his shirt collar to wait for death.
