What about you?I finally askedo you still believe in something more, even after all of this?
My thoughts raked over her memories of the end of the human world
It seems like there are some things thatcan’tdie
In our mind, their faces were close and clearThe love we felt for Jared and Jamiedid feel very
permanentIn that moment, I wondered if death was strong enough to dissolve something so
vital andsharpPerhaps this love would live on with her, in some fairytale place with pearly
gates
Would it be a relief to be free of it? I wasn’t sureIt felt like it was part of who I was now
We only lasted a few hoursEven Melanie’s tremendous strength of mind could ask no more
than that of our failing bodyWe couldn’t seem to find the oxygen in the
dry air we sucked in and spit back outThe pain brought rough whimpers breaking through our
lips
You’ve never had itthisbad, I teased her feebly as we staggered toward a dried stick of a tree
standing a few feet taller than the low brushWe wanted to get to the thin streaks of shade
before we fell
We attained our purposeThe dead tree threw its cobwebby shadow over us, and our legs fell
out from under usWe sprawled forward, never wanting the sun on our face againOur head
turned to the side on its own, searching for the burning airWe stared at the dust inches from
our nose and listened to the gasping of our breath
After a time, long or short we didn’t know, we closed our eyesOur lids were red and bright
insideWe couldn’t feel the faint web of shade; maybe it no longer touched us
How long?I asked her
I don’t know, I’ve never died be
