"I blinked through nonexistent eyes and warmth enveloped me. Not the warmth of a hot fire, but the warmth of acceptance, of love, of embrace. This was what I craved. What I paid so dearly for. The feeling that I and so many others risked our lives for. Happiness. Even through the heat enveloping me, I could feel death’s icy fingers reaching out to me, ensnaring my body as it waited patiently, knowing that my time was soon to end."
