A Final Kiss

by Darren Sant

We sat, the two of us, watching the sun set. The colours in the clear sky so vivid it made my heart melt. I took the deepest of sighs, pulled her close to me and whispered what would be my final words. Her reply just four words was all the affirmation I'd ever need. The horde came slowly to our little hill, their numbers though soon filled the air with their tortured and infected cries of pain and animal rage. I kissed her deeply as they raged up the hill towards us.
