Wow. So much imagery and emotion in this. Worth the wait for your first this year.

Thank you! I wasn't sure it would work, I'm glad you like it :)

This is utterly amazing.

I was blown away by Gene's memories being rekindled by seeing Sam emerging from the tunnel. This was unexpected and surprisingly powerful.

The visions of his team. Ulp.

And the penultimate line? When he opens his eyes, he gasps in pain as he finally sees Sam; waking from his coma only to sleep-walk through life, off of a building and back to his grave.

I think something in my heart broke upon reading that. No wonder Gene was eager to forget.

(P.S. I really hope that a drabble prompt comes along that you can hang this from, because this is a knockout!)

Thank you, when I was watching A2A I just felt so horrible for Gene and well... this came out of it.

I'm really glad that you liked it!
