It was raining. A thick steady rain with a cold wind that seeped into your bones. Unfortunately their was still work to be done and today their work consisted of the disposal of a former shinra employee selling reactor parts below plate.
A simple strait forward mission really before the bomb went off. The last thing he saw was Rod’s back as the wall came crashing down.
His glasses were broken on his face. He could feel the shattered glass digging into his face and eyes. The bent frames twisted and broken biting into him. He couldn’t see but he could feel the rain taste it mix with the blood sliding down his face. The last thing he heard was Rod’s voice screaming.
Two long weeks later he was laying in SHINRA’s medical ward hand clutching a stuffed red tonberry sitting on it’s little bike. They hadn’t found the body this was all he had left now and he couldn’t even see it.
