Crackle
The shadows, the ether seeps, and it’s more than he would ever ask for, hope for; a man like him, in the face of the great and endless nothing, can be only ever be humbled, grateful.
He breathes, and his lungs stretch hard, sore -- dig into his ribs; and it’s an afterthought that picks up the way the darkness, the blackness; the way the void shifts and molds around him. With him. In him.
Something crackles, and when the light comes, it’s so small -- a single shock of static in the night. But it shows him the world.
He bolts upright, and gasps hard.
Sayid Jarrah is dead.
