I reached up to cover my eyes and when I lowered my hands again, she was gone. No not gone, not completely. I could still glimpse her through the clouds.

I was aware that others had entered the room, and now I watched as a winged angel sailed out into the moonlit sky. I stood there speechless and motionless, one hand still strapped to the bed. I do not know who brought a coverlet and draped it around my nakedness. No one spoke for a very long time.

I remember little else. A sedative was administered and finally, I slept.
