    Every time this is posted the amount of time it took to find increases. I swear the first time I saw this it said something like ‘I just spent the last 10 minutes looking for my iPad’.

Oh God it’s just darkness… I’ll never kno… no noooo…” he said as his face twisted into fear and heart finally gave out. I was only a small boy then, now the years and those words weighed heavily on me.

      Stripped of joy, only sadness flooded into me. With disbelief I reached over as I wept, utterly broken."
