I open my front door with tears in my eyes watering out as if I was being washed away in the sea. I march up to my room to weak to even open these doors, to weak to even walk upstairs, to weak to even see correctly. I keep crying wondering if he's all the way up there or all the way down there. But all I have to know is that he doesn't exist here anymore. I open the door to my room. The room where "we" slept. The room of memories. The room of happiness and satisfying music being played while going to bed. But to my surprise... To my room, Not only do I just see emptiness... but I could see a floating pencil In the air... And it drops when I entered and all I could here was "clink". I stay there in shock, staring at it, but then I finally have a courage to go see what the terrifying sight was. I walk up to it. A pencil on the ground beside a piece of paper beside it. It's a bucket list. It read, "Arid's bucket list." Why would that be here? Laying on the ground? It's pretty short too. I decide to keep reading... "Make a kite" Checked off. "Fly it" Checked off. "Take a sip of alcohol" Checked off. Then I read the last one and I stand there terrified... "Die next to my beloved wife..." That, was checked off too.

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
