“Okay, I'm going to miss you,”
she said, feeling her eyes tear up and she was ready to fire the gun.
“I will miss you too,” he
whispered, smiling again, he hugged her,” I won't ever get to say
this, but, I love you.” He stepped back and smiled again, shutting
his eyes. She pulled the trigger, firing a bullet into the center of
his head. She watched as his body fell to the floor, ending his life.
She lowered the gun and walked back to the mess hall, everyone
looking at her returning alone. She set the bag with the gun on the
table in the corner and laid her head down. None of this is over
yet, she repeated Keith's words in her head, none of it will
ever be over.
