Tommy scowled, looking out over the ruined remains of his country. Kicking his legs lightly over the edge, he let out a rough sigh. It hurt his lungs to breathe too heavily, but the rattled breath feels more appropriate now than it ever has.

A couple of spare pebbles tumble over the edge, skipping and plinking off of the harsh drop. It’s so deep that he can’t even see the bottom of it. He closes his eyes and the crackles and bangs of ignited TNT flash beneath his lids. Biting his lip, he shakes the images from his brain and the tears from his eyes. It wouldn’t do anyone any good to cry now.

His fingers clench around the furry edges of his cloak, torn and bloody and threadbare. The oh-so-carefully restitched patches were fraying, and the original light blue of the cloak was barely perceptible through the thick layer of dirt and gunpowder clinging loosely to the fabric. Biting back a hissed curse, Tommy unbuckles the cloak from his shoulders and holds it in shaking hands.
