Todd places a bouquet of red roses on his wife’s grave. The rain pelts down and the flowers wither. He sighs and kneels on the muddy ground, tears filling his eyes. Drenched from head to toe, he doesn’t care. It’s been two months since Maria died from cancer and his chest aches. He has no family, only his job to keep him company.
“I miss you, Maria. I wish it had been me instead.”
Weeping, Todd somberly rises to his feet and walks to his car.
After several minutes, the rain stops and the roses return to their natural beauty.
