It was all confusion, as always. And the confusion surrounded Larry, as always. It had happened in the past, it was happening now, and in all likelihood, it would continue to be so.

Appearing now would be an acceptance of the wrong that had been committed, over the past few years. Yet remaining passive would be a decision to watch his life drain away. Was death the right penalty for him, even if he had blundered no more than a typical bumbling ranger? The answer, though obvious, shook her to the very core. How could she ever break free from this horrendous lie she had been forced to live with, all these years? Was it fair that she had to bear the brunt of these assumptions?

The sense of dread that shrouded her was exceeded only by a wave of indignant anger. How tired she was of all this nonsense!

“Larry Silverfall, you’re nothing but a selfish pig!!!”

She was almost choking on the words and her tears.

“You’ll get up like a man and undo the wrong you’ve put me through, instead of lying there like a squashed pop tart!”

Would he remember the past, especially about the pop tarts?

”I’m sick of living in suspension, you understand? I don’t care if you don’t understand, you goon! You just get up and be a man, you hear me?!!”

Wheezing, she bent over and tried to catch her breath, feeling the beads roll from the corner of her eyes down her cheeks and splashing onto her wrists.
