It’s too much. I can’t take it anymore. Their voices are in my head. Their laughter is echoing off these stone walls. There is nothing. I have outlived them all. I cannot bear to see, but I have no eyes left to see with. I cannot bear to hear, yet my ears have long since stopped hearing. My hair is thin and I wonder if it’s still green.
I love your hair, Terra. It’s beautiful like the trees.

Terra! Wake up!
