I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

Holly’s pearly tears spattered the mangled photo, a trembling hand clutching it so hard that it crumpled where she gripped it. She tore her eyes away from the photo of his smiling face, and up to the still, quiet one that seemed to smile slightly even in death.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

he was gone, and no amount of crying could ever bring him back. As she walked away from Trouble Kelp’s funeral, she knew what she must do. She would join her beloved husband. “till death do us part” did not matter to her, for she had worked six long, hard years to win his heart, and she wsn’t going to let him slip from her fingers. Trouble Kelp would always be in her heart.

Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

Holly’s hand trembled as she wrote the note, the pen splattering ink all over her clothes as she shook it. It apologized to Artemis for not being there when his daughter was born, and to Grub for letting his brother get killed by a goblin. The letter also expressed her remorse for letting Beckett lose his right eye when she was piloting a shuttle into the fowl yard and pice of shrapnel peirced his eye when it crashed. As Holly sealed the envelope, she thought about her mistakes in life… So horrible.Nothing she could do.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

As Holly Short looked up to the sky above earth for the last time as  black clouds rolled over the clear blue sky, and enveloped her in a sea of rain. She pressed the cold metal to her temple and took a deep breath.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

The loud bang was the only thing that signified Holly Short’s passing from the world.That and the small thud as she hit the earth.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
