"The day that Julian died was the busiest day of his life. To him, looking back, he found it oddly fitting that he'd woken up so early in the morning. The blaring scarlet digits next to his head read 5:32, a mere two hours after he had managed to find the massive bed so he could pass out atop it. He was silent as consciousness overtook him; and through the darkness, his eyes adjusted until he could count the cracks in the ceiling from where the ...

"His photo was on her dresser near her wedding veil. The upper left-hand corner was missing and had a crease across his chest. He was dressed up in one of his work shirts and dirty torn up jeans held up by a pair of his signature green suspenders. His eyes looked at the camera dead on through the lenses of his glasses.

"We waited patiently for darkness to fall. Huddled on the edge of the woods, we wore several layers of gray and black Hanes sweatshirts and sweatpants, each of which clung tightly to our small bodies.
