regret's descent
#WritcoStoryPrompt30
For a timeless moment, he was suspended within the confines of his car. Then gravity took over with a force that sent the vehicle hurtling down the face of the ravine.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." His broken apology flew down with the blood spewing from his lips as the car crashed and rolled, shattering glass and crunching metal, his world went dark. But in that fleeting instant, he saw her face - the one he had wronged, the one he had lost. He felt the weight of his regret, the ache of his sorrow, and the sting of his tears.
When the wreckage finally came to rest, he was left with only silence. The silence of defeat, of despair, of death. Yet, in that stillness, he heard her voice, whispering forgiveness, whispering peace.
And as the darkness closed in, he smiled, knowing that in the end, love had conquered all, even his own brokenness.
