I hope the old lady is right. I am in total darkness now. I can feel darkness trying to embrace my soul but.. but I can see Zoe. She is smiling at me. Her smile is so bright. I remember the time she said 'I hate my smile.' but I never believed it because... because her smile is all I got. She would do anything for me. Her smile... her lovely smile. Her freckles that shine in the darkness. They are calling my name and I am reaching for them. Darkness is weak. It can't even break my brittle bones. I am so close to Zoe now. But I hear something behind me. It's the old lady. She has something in her hand. It's a light bulb. She throws it to the darkness. Sadly, darkness embraces her but I... I am still alive and I am holding Zoe's hand. I am closing my eyes because she is so bright. I can feel my heart melting. Darkness fades away.
