The Path of Men
His mouth was a rigid, stony line and his eyes flickered in red firelight. He loved a woman, and she stood ahead of him, and looked back. / “I hate you, and you could not possibly know how fiercely.” To him, her words rang out like wonderful bells on the most peaceful day. He heard her words but failed to listen, love had deafened him, and their meaning was lost on him. She jumped from the edge into endless light, he looked after, but could not follow. Like a child he was lost. He did not understand. / He wandered. For eternities he searched, confused, and drunk from love he did not know he had lost.
