The sky was tinted with an unbelievable red shade, as was the ocean I was gazing upon from atop the building where I sat down next to her. It was probably the only building left standing I said to her without looking into her eyes. She was silent. I stood up and went over to the edge of the building and looked down, there were people everywhere digging through the ruble, looking for their lost friends and family. I walked back to her and sat down next to her again. She looked at me grabbed my hand and said that she was sorry, I grinned and shuck my head and she grabbed my face with her right hand and let go of my hand and grasped the other side with her left and kissed me, I put my hands around her and kissed her back. It started to rain, a rain that I couldn’t describe as anything but haunting. We let go of each other and stood up to walk into the building. She walked ahead of me opening the door and stepping through. Then before my very eyes I watched as the floor before her crumbled in a matter of seconds, I didn’t even have time to tell her to look out, and just like that, she was gone. I was overcome with emotion but not enough stupidity to jump down and see if she was okay, deep down inside I knew she was gone, taken just as the city had been, just as the sky had been, just as the world had been. I went back and sat down where she once had, thinking about everything. I remembered how earlier that day before any of it happened, she looked at me and said that I was a nice guy, but that she didn’t see me in the same way I saw her, then I thought about how she grabbed onto me when it started to happen. It made me wonder if maybe we were supposed to be together and maybe all of this happened to bring us together. The thought was so beautiful I closed my eyes and went to lie down on the cold cement. When I awoke sometime later, the sky was no longer red but was black with stars and such, just like any other clear night sky. I stood up and went to the edge of the building and looked around, and what I saw was beautiful.
