but
Sam

as he looks around there's unfamiliar things
weird things
Sam
Sam
it's...
Sam
Sam
beautiful
he smiles brightly
Sam
Sam
It would be so much fun playing tag here!
he looks around again and his smile inverts
Sam
Sam
i wish Lace was here...
Sam
Sam
she would love this
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
now that I think about it
Sam
Sam
I'm alone
he walks around
Sam
Sam
its pretty but...
Sam
Sam
there's nothing here
he plops down
Sam
Sam
it's kind of scary
???
???

???
???
this place is supposed to be peaceful
Sam
Sam
I don't like it!
Sam
Sam
who are you
Caleb
Caleb
my names Caleb
Caleb
Caleb
and you are?
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
Sam
Sam
Sam
where are we?
Caleb
Caleb
I don't actually know
Caleb
Caleb
but considering there's no snow and the sun is okay, I'm guessing it's a dream of some kind
Sam
Sam
dream...
Sam
Sam
then why are you here?
Caleb
Caleb
i could ask you the same thing
Caleb
Caleb
I come here whenever I'm stressed out
Caleb
Caleb
but your what? 6?
Sam
Sam
9
Caleb
Caleb
what would you be stressed about?
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
Lace...
Caleb
Caleb
who?
Sam
Sam
she's my friend
Caleb
Caleb
what's wrong with her?
Sam
Sam
everyone's saying she has hypo-therm-ia
Sam
Sam
and that she's going to go to sleep and not wake up!
Caleb
Caleb
yeah...The cold can do that
Caleb
Caleb
but at least it's a peaceful death
Sam
Sam
no!
Sam
Sam
I don't want her to die!
caleb sits down beside Sam
Caleb
Caleb
nobody wants a friend to die
Caleb
Caleb
trust me
Caleb
Caleb
when this thing started I had a group of over 30 people
Caleb
Caleb
all friends and family from before
Caleb
Caleb
but...
Caleb
Caleb
now it's just me and my brother
Sam
Sam
what happened to them?
Caleb
Caleb
some got hypothermia
Caleb
Caleb
some starved
Caleb
Caleb
some couldn't handle it all
Caleb
Caleb
some got mad and fought each other
Caleb
Caleb
and then there was my girlfriend
Caleb
Caleb
she was as pretty and as nice as they come
Caleb
Caleb
she got tired of it all
Caleb
Caleb
and left with one of my friends
Caleb
Caleb
He promised one day he'd come back
Caleb
Caleb
and that he'd protect her
Caleb
Caleb
and that was 4 years ago
Sam
Sam
a year after this started
Sam
Sam
why'd she leave?
Caleb
Caleb
my brother is controlling
Caleb
Caleb
she didn't like it
Caleb
Caleb
she tried to get me to go with her
Caleb
Caleb
but i had to stay
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
can I save her?
Caleb
Caleb
who?
Sam
Sam
Lace
Sam
Sam
she has hypothermia
Sam
Sam
is there a way to save her?
Caleb
Caleb
she's probably not going to make it
Caleb
Caleb
you need warmth
Caleb
Caleb
like
Caleb
Caleb
heated blanket's, hot water, heaters
Caleb
Caleb
you got that?
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
no...
Caleb
Caleb
then I'm sorry
Sam
Sam
what should I do then?
Caleb
Caleb
not much you can do
Caleb
Caleb
but, maybe hold her
Caleb
Caleb
tell her everything's going to be okay
Sam
Sam
but
Sam
Sam
it won't be okay
Caleb
Caleb
yeah but do you want her last day to be you telling her she's gonna die?
Caleb
Caleb
more then likely she already knows that
Caleb
Caleb
her body is shaking, she can't move much, she's getting more and more tired
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
it's not fair
Caleb
Caleb
nothing is
Sam
Sam
She promised me
Caleb
Caleb
?
Sam
Sam
she said that when we were older we would find a way to make things normal again!
Caleb
Caleb
this is the new normal
Caleb
Caleb
there's no way to fix this
Caleb
Caleb
our sun is dying
Caleb
Caleb
so unless you have the power of god at your disposal
Caleb
Caleb
there's no wat to fix this
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
why is it dying?
Caleb
Caleb
it's old
Caleb
Caleb
its been alive for thousands and thousands of years
Caleb
Caleb
everything dies eventually
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
dying? so what happens when it does die?
Caleb
Caleb
more then likely it'll give one final hurrah
Caleb
Caleb
and alot of heat will suddenly happen
Caleb
Caleb
all the snow will melt almost instantly
Caleb
Caleb
trees will catch on fire
Caleb
Caleb
maybe even the air
Caleb
Caleb
and then it will cave in on itself and explode killing everything else
Caleb
Caleb
and whatever does survive will just be floating in an empty void
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
will it hurt?
Caleb
Caleb
probably
Sam
Sam
so it's better for her just to go to sleep now instead of waiting for the sun to die
Caleb
Caleb
yeah it's better but the sun isn't going to die in a few days it'll be years
Caleb
Caleb
might even be long enough for you to have kids
Caleb
Caleb
maybe even for them to have kids
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
who would
Caleb
Caleb
?
Sam
Sam
who would have kids with this
Sam
Sam
wouldn't it just be bringing someone here just for them to suffer?
Caleb
Caleb
you'd be surprised
Sam
Sam
it sounds selfish
Caleb
Caleb
sometimes it is
Caleb
Caleb
sometimes survival depends on it
Sam
Sam
how?!
Caleb
Caleb
well lets say you find a spaceship or something in your lifetime
Caleb
Caleb
and you have kids who can work in that
Caleb
Caleb
and then their kids will be able to escape and save everyone
Sam
Sam
...
Sam
Sam
So that would be the only way I could help...
Caleb
Caleb
No
Sam
Sam
Then how can I?
Caleb
Caleb
you'll figure it out
Caleb stairs at the sky while Sam is gloomily looking at the ground
Caleb
Caleb
hey look!
Caleb
Caleb
the suns setting
Sam
Sam
huh?
they both turn and look at the sunset
Sam
Sam
whoa
Caleb
Caleb
it's magical isn't it?
Sam
Sam
yeah
Caleb
Caleb
this use to happen every morning and every night
Caleb
Caleb
back then people didn't really care about it
Caleb
Caleb
little less notice it
Sam
Sam
why? it's so pretty
Caleb
Caleb
because we saw it everyday
Caleb
Caleb
its like snow
Caleb
Caleb
now a days people hate it and want it to go away
Caleb
Caleb
but people use to beg for it
Caleb
Caleb
and some even celebrated whenever it did snow
Sam
Sam
...
Caleb
Caleb
people use to hate then sun
Sam
Sam
really?
Caleb
Caleb
yeah
Sam
Sam
why?
Caleb
Caleb
because it was hot
Caleb
Caleb
and really bright
Caleb
Caleb
but now people miss it and beg for it back
Sam
Sam
I get it
Sam
Sam
whenever you have something all the time you don't think about it
Sam
Sam
but when you don't have it you do
Caleb
Caleb
yeah
Caleb
Caleb
well the sun is going down which means your about to wake up
Caleb
Caleb
so it was nice talking to you
Sam
Sam
you too
and as Caleb's warm smile fades away Sam slowly opens his eyes
