In the cold dark, Lobelia thought of sunlight she’d barely noticed before, and people she used to hate, to keep warm, to keep strong.
Hatred diminishes in the darkness, where there is nothing to feel or know but yourself.
‘Come back,’ she said to the scratches on the wall. ‘Take me out of here.’ She wasn’t sure who she was calling, but when he arrived at the end of a lifetime in the dark, she knew him. She only wished she could make everything up to him, to him, since there was no-one else left.
There was nothing else left.
