   Summary

   You were selfish. You wanted to live. You wanted to tear and claw your way back from the edge, because it wasn't fair. You had accepted this so long ago, but that anger still boiled deep within. Your blood ran hot like the Lantern's lava, bright and painful; you were just so tired. You missed the days when you were but a tadpole, when the adults would cradle you in their arms and tell you everything would be alright. You wanted to go back. You wanted to go home.

   The universe ends. And yet, somehow, it doesn't.
