Writing The Wheatfield

[Brasil]

?The Wheatfield?

They embraced, their arms cradling each other, still yearning to feel what they once shared. Their times were precious, and nothing now seemed right. Nothing felt right anymore. The embrace was one of love, but there was also something strangely alien about it. They had changed. They both knew this, and they both knew it would not be the same were he to stay.

Her head rested on his shoulder, a lone tear sliding down her cheek. It hung there for a moment, then fell, dropping down onto his roughen coat, dampening the leather. She remembered the nights they shared, dancing in the moonlight, the sweet night air filling their pores, a warm and gentle breeze whispering through the trees, nights they would never spend together again.

She loved being held in his arms, feeling warm and secure. In his arms, she could do anything, and she could go anywhere. In his arms, there were no limitations. There was no sorrow. There was no remorse. In his arms, there was love and joy, unburdened by the outside world. In his arms, she could feel love. In his arms, she could feel.

The embrace ended, and they stood at arm?s length, their hands still clasped together.

?So, this is goodbye,? she asked.

?Yes, it?s time for me to go.?

?I wish you didn?t have to.?

?I know,? he glanced up at the sky, ?It?s that time of year again.?

?Yes, it is.?

?Soon all the leaves will fall, the trees will become bare. The air will chill and the first snow will blanket the fields,? he turned back to her, ?I know you?ll keep everything in order while I?m gone.?

He reached his hand up, and gently caressed her cheek.

I had started this story a few weeks ago and never finished it. I'm posting it to get some feedback, I suppose, as to if I should finish it.

All I can say is... how ridiculously disturbing it is to go from reading that sad, sad, story, and then scrolling down to see Bean's maniacal smile.

Great story - very effective prose.
