DEATH BE NOT PROUD
By: Lillian
HOSS WAS
DYING. THE GAPING WOUND IN HIS STOMACH ALLOWED HIS LIFE FORCE TO OOZE OUT INTO
A CRIMSON PUDDLE BENEATH HIM. HIS HEAD WAS GENTLY CRADLED IN ADAM.S HANDS. HIS BROTHER
WAS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, WITH TEARS STREAMING DOWN HIS FACE. REMARKABLY…HE
FELT NO PAIN. HOSS LOOKED UP INTO ADAM'S EYES. BLUE MEETING
HAZEL. AND WITH A PEACEFUL SIGH…HOSS SIMPLY DIED!
LIKE
HELL HE DID! CONTROL - SHIFT - DELETE
HOSS LOOKED INTO ADAM'S EYES. HAZEL MEETING BLUE.
"I LOVE YOU, PAL," HE WHISPERED
"I LOVE YOU, TOO, BUDDY."
THEY SMILED, KNOWING TOGETHER THEY WOULD SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY.
