Silas

15 June, 20:49

I will never forget that lonesome hill of stone that is her

final bed, as it fades from my sight. I tread softly by my

uncle, my hand in his. I walk with my head turned, watching

that small hill as it fades from my sight. The soldiers make

us continue walking. My uncle talks to me, trying to

comfort me. I walk in loneliness.
