Vivid memories started flashing before me: my family’s love, my friends’ laughter. I sensed my soul slowly separating from my outer shell.

As if struck by adrenaline, I pulled out the dwindling stamina that remained and ran faster; my psyche progressively united as his steps and breaths slowly sank into the night.
