Nightmare.
The moon hung low in the blackened sky, a single cloud drifting through the dazzling stars. The feeling that came over me was somewhat haunting, taking the last of the steady breath from my lungs. I stood there silenced by the echo of my heartbeat, which seemed to play the same frantic song as my frightened mind. The ground was cold, my feet tingled as the icy air left them numb. My eyes searched for him, fear rushing through my body as I longed for the familiarity of his voice. A piercing wind invaded the thin fabric that laid against my skin, forcing a cold shiver down my spine. I was alone.
Tears swelled behind my panicked eyes and soon fell steadily onto the frozen ground. I stared up towards the sky, my eyes focused on the light shining down from the moon.

The light began to dim as a deeper fear settled into my mind. My body overwhelmed by terror, I closed my eyes once more, whispering a final goodbye to the one I loved. My heart shattered within my chest, taking the last of my strength and drowning it in my tears. With one last breath, a sorrowful apology left my lips as I stepped off the ledge, but his voice echoed through me as he suddenly called my name. My eyes met his as I fell, his hands reaching out in despereation, but it was too late. I disappeared into the darkness, as the sound of his cries floated through the icy wind. - By Me, Myself, and I
