Survivor-guilt Stories

When life becomes too hard to bear alone, someone comes along to bear it with you. A girl thriving on light and colour meets a boy trapped in darkness; their souls connect, and together they find love and healing... or something profound and corny like that. Excerpt: A girl wearing a rainbow is marching towards me from over the hill... I dare to turn my head slightly to study her. I can't have such a vivid hallucination and not make a point of appreciating it fully. I am a little alarmed, but as hallucinations go, this one is a lot better than the red and green rabbits I saw running over my grandmother's rug last night.
