Aaru …
For the first time in years, I had finally see snow fall from the gray skies. Nothing surrounding me but the naked trees that bare no leaves and was only coated lightly in the white blankets of winter. Ahead of me was a road that had no beginning or no end from this bench where I lay. A road that was covered with snow and ice. Someone had stood in the distance in the middle of this road covered in the blankets of winter. It was a man with his back turned at me. His dark napoleon cape blowing in the gentle wind, seeming to dance so flawlessly. A man I know far to well. I ran towards him shouting his name, but no words would form from my lips. It only seemed that he was moving further and further away as I tried to reach him. He turned around, and smiled. He smiled and stretched his hand forth… to save me. “Come with me, Aaru.” His gentle voice was carried into the wind. I reached my hand towards his… and it seem that he just drifted away into the unknown abyss that had covered this land. This land of trees and snow, and the road that never seems to end or begin. There I had stopped running, not really going anywhere. Nor did I make tracks in the snow. And at that moment the world seemed to stop with me. For the first time I had begun to feel cold, and had seen my breath in the frozen air. The blood in my veins was no longer warm, and my heart has sculpted itself into ice. The snow seems to fall endlessly here in this place. “You look like an Angel.” His voice echoed around me, almost heavenly. “I want you here, with me… forever.” The voice said.
