PROLOGUE
-Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever.
-psalm 23 (feel free to disregard this if you are of different religion or atheist, I just thought it made a nice little addition)
Viola walked, clad in black, through the all too familiar graveyard as she did every year on this day since the funeral. The discerning scent of freshly dug burial plots and flowers wafted freely through the air. It was a cheerful day much to her dismay, birds chirped cheerily and the sun shone out brightly. It had only been three years since that day but it replayed over and over in her mind never lightening the heavy load of guilt that weighed so heavily upon her.
She lightly sniffed the scarlet rose twirling it nonchalantly between her thumb and index finger, she had picked off the thorns on the drive up. Walking somberly around tombstones and burial sites, winding her way to the grave of the one person she would never forget as long as she lived; the person who saved her life.
She knelt down beside the grave she had been looking for; she gingerly laid the single red rose in front of the tombstone. Tears threatened to escape her eyes but she refused trying her best to hold them back. Despite her best efforts a tear rolled down her cheek after which more quickly followed. Sobs wracked her body as she cried of loved ones lost. “It should’ve been me.” She mumbled between sobs.
