Preface

I watched hopelessly as the one thing in my life that mattered most walked away from me. I couldn't stop him.

No-I wouldn't stop him.

Even if there was a possible way, the force against me was too strong; too powerful. After all, I was only human, and I was dealing with a much greater being than I could ever be capable of beating.

Briefly, the past few weeks' happenings flashed before my eyes. Just the remembrance should have provoked some kind of fire in me, sparked a flame of hope that would help me overcome my fears. I should have felt something; fear, adrenaline, grief, or even a shot of overwhelming pain.

But I felt nothing.

The numbness was spreading throughout my body slowly, like a deadly drug to what I'd soon succumb. Part of me that had not drifted yet acknowledged the organs inside me shutting down. My hands…so I could no longer feel. My legs…so I could no longer walk. My eyes and ears…I was deaf and blind. My tongue had shut down long ago; I was past the point of forming a coherent sentence.

And finally, the pieces of my heart drifted along with the rest of me into the black nothingness.

Yay!! I was finally able to get this teeny-eeny little bit of this story in for you guys who, I may add, have been so patiently waiting!

I apologize for the wait. But, just so you understand, it's TOTALLY not my fault! Somehow, some way, all of the files on my computer were deleted in the period of time I was gone on vacation. That's right-every. Single. One of them. So that means I have to re-write all of the chapters that I lost-and believe me, it's been an absolute nightmare.

So I'd truly appreciate it if you guys can put up with me just for a bit longer. I promise it'll be good, okay?

Thanks,
