She stands there. He looks over and notices that she is alone. His heart beats rapidly. It feels like a hammer rattling in his chest. "Should I or should I not?" The question goes through his head as centuries pass. He turns again and she is still alone. He steps forward. The soles of his shoes become cinder blocks. Each step increases the weight. Gravity pulls and the winds push him. She looks over and smiles. He pushes further, but the Gods have answered, and that answer is "no". Another man meets her. Our man freezes. All of the forces stop and grey begins to take his body from the leg up. The other man takes the girl's hand and they walk away smiling. Our man is now a statue. Cracks run throughout his body. Through those cracks black liquid leaks. The shattering of his body can be heard for miles.
