Terra ~ One Last Wish

  Chapter Thirty-One

  I learned to live for my family. They were important to me.

  I didn’t want to break their hearts. I knew the great, terrible agony they would feel...

  Eventually, after some time, a dim inner light started to break through the darkness inside me.

  It started to shine a little. Just a little. But at least it did shine.

  I even started to enjoy the simple things in life a little again. Just a little.

  But, the darkness inside me never disappeared—it was always there, lurking.
