Summary
Mike fought to stay awake, because he had never felt the sensation of death, so he didn’t know if this would be the end. He didn’t know if his last moments were spent bathing in the past, and the past coming back to embrace him. He wasn’t even sure if it was real at all, or if he was just hallucinating the desires he’d felt since he was a child. All he could feel, as his vision turned black and consciousness slipped away, was what felt like a press of lips against his, a final warmth, a kiss goodbye as he ventured into the unknown. He was afraid, but even if it wasn’t real, the kiss, filled with home, made him feel safe.
Mike, a soldier for his kingdom, finds himself on death's doorstep after a fatal injury. In his final moments, he is greeted by a boy from his past that he never thought he'd see again.
