“Alas, the carriage tipped over, the train had to leave the station, and that is all I dare say about our downfall right now. All I know is that this creature who rushed into my life like a firebomb, lit up the sky so brightly and the light from his star still reaches my planet. There is still gravity there. I hope he knows that. The spiritual gifts he gave me are immense, and they came like meteors to my shore. But as we both learned, and as you might have wondered what happened – fire burns. I simply hope that the break we made in the dry grass, now a black scar across the plains of paddocks past, prevents any future flames from touching the sacred circle which we built with our heat.”
