Dublin placed her head against Mac’s chest and gently hugged him as her body shook with sobs. Mac managed to raise his arms just enough to place them around Dublin so that he could hug her back as he again attempted to speak. Finally his lungs produced enough air to allow him to form the words.
“Dublin…it’s ok. It’s ok. Don’t…be sad. Please. I love you. I love you so much.”
Mac Walker’s body continued, as it had done its entire life, to fight. Dublin and Reese both sat next to him, and even though Mac’s eyes remained closed and he gave no indication of understanding their words, they spoke to Mac long into the night. Dublin told Mac of how much her grandfather admired him, and how she had, when younger, thought of Mac as some kind of indestructible super hero. Reese cried as he recalled the time Mac first introduced him to Dublin inside of Freedom Tavern, and how the former Navy SEAL had warned Reese to treat Dublin right – or else.
Shortly after midnight, Dublin looked out the window nearest Mac’s bed and was stunned at a night sky lit up with the most beautiful array of colors she had ever seen. During her time in Dominatus, she had watched the Northern Lights many times, but the display on this night in Churchill, Manitoba was beyond anything she had witnessed before.
“Reese – look at that!”
Reese rose from his chair and looked out the window, his eyes growing wide in amazement as he witnessed the massive display of illuminated green, red, and purple light stretching across the sky.
Mac’s breathing suddenly worsened considerably as his chest heaved upward and then remained there for several seconds, before falling again. After nearly a minute of no movement, Mac’s chest rose again, and then fell.
As Dublin and Reese silently watched his final moments of life, Mac’s eyes suddenly opened, appearing to stare at the swirling lights that continued to slash across the otherwise dark canvas of the Manitoba night sky. A faint smile formed on Mac Walker’s face as he continued to look out through the window, until his chest raised and then lowered one more time while he whispered a final word.
“God.”
END.
