I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible. There is also a lot of fast forwarding in the chapter.

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
Danny opened his eyes and looked at the green world around him. He stood and rubbed his eyes before taking off into the deep blue sky. A thunderous boom echoed through the air as the rain began. More torture. It had been too real this time, yet it was only another dream to torment him. It was just another dream.
And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain
He landed in a clearing not far from one of the small towns. The sky lit up for a second as a flash of lightning cut the sky. Danny stood there staring up at the clouds. 'When will this end?' Danny asked himself as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his beat up jeans and started walking aimlessly once more.
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Countless years had past now He'd lost track not knowing how long he'd been on this earth and not caring. The world was begining to look as it had just before it had ended the first time. Danny found himself walking down the street of a large city. He himself was now a legend that was barely remembered. The world continued with it's life day after day never noticing the sad halfling who seems to be doomed to wander the earth forever. All the ghosts had stopped bothering him now. They saw him as one of them even though he wasn't full ghost. Danny entered a small bar and sat at the counter. "What'll it be D?" The bar tender asked wiping a glass with a rag.
"Just give me the usual J." Danny answered. "Make it a double." J nodded and slid him a glass. James was an old bartender who had known Danny for the past thirty years he had worked at the bar. He'd been a young man around twenty when he'd first met the halfa. Danny's closest friend was now fifty, he was getting ready to retire.
"Another one of those dreams pal?" Danny nodded and took a drink. "You gotta get over her man. You'll see 'er again." Danny sighed and hung his head. "Nobody stays here forever. He always calls you home eventually." Danny looked up at him.
"Put it on my tab." The old bar keep nodded.
"You be careful out there pal." But Danny was gone.
Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
Twenty years later Jim had died. Danny took his body and buried it in the small cemetery that held his friends and family. Danny looked out at the world that had seemed to not notice this small group of graves on the hilltop. He sighed sadly. He'd watched the world grow back from ashes and radiation, he'd seen the world become lush and green, he had watched as people grew numerous and begin to rebuild, and now he was watching it destroy itself again. The halfling sat down and leaned against Sam's gravestone and picked a few of the flowers around him. He stared at the violets in his hand. They seemed to mock him. He threw them and stared at the sky for a while, thinking…
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't
He thought of his family, his friends and enemies. He thought about what might have happened if he could have saved Sam, wishing he could go back, but he couldn't. The only thing he could do was keep going and hope he would find the end of the tunnel. He wondered what he had done to deserve this punishment. Countless times he had stared at the sky and asked it the same question but no answer ever came.
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
Danny stood and placed the flowers back on Sam's grave next to the small black velvet box that would remain there forever. He walked over to Tuckers gave and looked down at it. The shattered pieces of a PDA lay scattered among the sunflowers. Next to Tucker's gave lay those of his family. He smiled slightly looking at the small area that was Tucker, his parents, wife, son, and his daughter. All surrounded by sunflowers. Behind those surrounded by white tulips lay Jazz, her husband and daughter. Danny's parents lay just behind his sisters surrounded by red and yellow roses. Finally he looked at the grave of the friend he had made in this life. Even though only a few hours had past it was covered in freshly grown white lilies. Danny looked at the small group before him, smiled sadly and walked away. The wandering phantom continued on his lonely odyssey for another ten years before finally going home to rest until he was once again needed.
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm fading away
