I wonder...

What is it like to be free?

To walk upon the shorelines of grace
To feel the sand tickle the soles of my feet
To have the wind kiss the cheeks of my face
To bathe in the warmth of the golden sun
Without the shadow of denial trailing my footsteps
Without the tears of despair staining my skin
Without the hands of death holding onto my neck

Squeezing

Wheezing

Lying

Dying

...I wonder what it would be like

To simply breathe.

Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living? [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]
