Sacrifice

 

“It’s going to be all right.”

He places a chaste kiss on her forehead and runs a hand through her matted hair. Through tear-stricken eyes, they both know it’s a worthless lie. He was her mentor once. She was his President once. They loved each other once, maybe. Always friends though, even at the beginning when they tried to deny it.

 

They part. Both have duties to fulfil.

 

The planet screams and the burning coursing through his veins never leaves him. In terms of the Universe, she’s a small sacrifice. Sometimes, he wonders if she was worth it at all.
