From as far as Flash could tell, he was alone. He guessed it really didn’t matter if anyone saw him now, but a part of him still felt guilty. Now, standing before one of his best friends’ grave, after cowardly missing her funeral. “It’s weird, you know..” He started, quietly. Flash cleared his throat. “I never pictured myself talking to tombstones like this, but uh.. I’ve heard it helps.” He shrugged, stuffing his hands into his pockets. “I’ve lost people overseas, even friends, so.. I don’t know why this is so hard. When I lost friends overseas, we were always boots-down.. ready to avenge.” His voice faltered, until it found itself again as he cleared his throat. “No one tells you how to handle death stateside. So.. I guess I found my own way. I know you wouldn’t like it, but it’s the only way I know how and..” Flash heard someone approaching to his right. “I’m sorry, Gwen.” He muttered, then turned to see a familiar woman. “How much of that did you.. hear?”
