    I stood. Transfixed in a tormenting daze, my sunken pupils met the array of tones, laid out in rows of deepest and dimmest along the market stall. The various shades and colours rebounding amongst the delicate fabric walls, my steady gaze encapsulated within the many hues and my limbs suspended in hesitance.

They were in a graveyard, both mourning their loved ones, and he’d shown up with a gun in the dead of night, planning to use it on himself, but he’d killed her instead and buried her deep in the ground.
