Much Much Later 2/5/2007
01:52 AM, a man steps out into the night sky.
02:54 AM, he climbs a nearby hill.
03:51 AM, he hears a shot in the woods.
04:50 AM, both men learn the sad truth.
Two days later, he slips back.
Another hour and then another, he searches for something.
Minutes later, he crawls on his knees.
Sometime after, he searches for forgiveness.
Much much later, the meaning of life.
Even more later, vengeance appears.
Much much later, the meaning of life.
At some point, his mind finally caves in.
On his deathbed, he rolls over, and dies.
At his funeral, his family on a crowded saddened ground.
Three months later, a man once of heart, forgotten.
Five months later, a man once lost, forever.
The year after, nobody seems to care.
