The Moment

"I love you," she thinks, crashing through the overpass in an intensity of fear that at its core is a deep, resolute peace. As every detail tears through her consciousness she falls freely, weightlessly, towards an impenetrable golden calm.

A world away he gasps in his sleep - alert and contained in a thick, resplendent silence.

Closing his eyes again, he knows that she is gone.
