I felt guilt surge through me, here I was accusing this scared spirit of something when I had committed such a vile act. I had robbed someone of their life, a gorgeous full-of-life innocent! Someone that didn't deserve any of it.
Just gone in one fleeting moment...
I sank to my knees before the girl...
...and took her broken hands in mine.
She stared at me, scared and cautious as to what I was going to do next.
This was the one and only time I can remember, where I actually, sincerely meant the words...
She just starred at me for a moment, her mind working overtime I'm sure...
Then she grabbed me in a huge hug...
and we stayed that was for a long time....
