The hall seem so loud to his ears which rang for eternity yet the hall was silent to the echo of the gait along the passage. Blood dripped down his sleeve, he had got three quarters of the way before he collapsed to his knees, his perception of the world seemed to begin to perish into the mind, but before his eyes was the vesper sunset, only it moves west, onto tomorrow, onto a new day. Only one less soul, so much left unspoken. Well at least he grasped the sight of dusk, one last time.
