Unknown objects swirled around and flew past her, brushing against her skin, tickling her insides. She floated aimlessly in the world, reaching out to grasp a colored light when she felt like it.
She looked around and saw the world before her. She drifted above it all, admired its beauty. I can see my house from here, she thought to herself playfully.

The boy let his tears shoot down onto her beautiful frozen face like rockets. He shut his eyes, closed hers for her, and cried himself to sleep.
