Sidetracked

1.Farewell

Kneeling in that throne room, surrounded by gold, I looked up into the smiling face and knew despair. The familiar features were transformed by the cruel sneer of his lips into a parody of the man I once knew, the glowing eyes transfixing me. I couldn't have stood if I had been allowed, my legs trembling with the horror of the sight.

"Have him removed. His tatterdemalion appearance offends me."

It wasn't the echoing voice so much as the words he used that finally confirmed my friend was lost, and as I was dragged away I wept for the man who once was Jack O'Neill.
