The summerdays went on for years, neverending for this lonely character.

If there was ever a day I considered my best, then this one wouldn't
be it, the water flowing ever faster, ever slower, never fast enough.

The red string that extended itself further and further into the distance
had seemed so innocent and playfull, were it not for it's point of origin,
a lifeless husk that one might've called friend some time ago, that I
called friend some time ago.

The deed was over so fast, too fast, a stumble, a knife, a gasp and a sigh
was all that was needed to lead to this , could I have prevented it?
The answer was clear as day yet thick as mud, this question, when asked by
a tearfull face to a friend of loved one, he would hear "of course not" but
when asked to the mind behind the tears, then it would echo throughout my
thoughts "yes".

Now, all that remained in the rubble of this disaster was an empty husk,
never to live or love again, and the corpse of his best friend, floating
down the rapid currents of this stream.
Well, it's been some time since I last wrote anything, these are just some thoughts
I had when I looked at the random word "stream" wich then transformed into this
short story.

I hope you enjoy it, comments are always welcome and if you see any spelling errors
then go right ahead to point them out ;)
