The whistling of the wind. The thunderous
clouds overhead. The letter that ended her world. The shattering
of the glass as it fell to the floor. The sudden realization that he
was gone forever. The promises he made suddenly vanished; The
promise to return home. The tears streaming down her face. The
echos of the 21 shots as they split through the air. The folding of
the flag as it was offered to her. The casket as it was lowered into
that six-foot prison; No way out.
