For everything that is lost something is gained. But what? What do we gain from loss? What do we gain when we lose that which is dearest to us?
Nothing, Watson thinks bitterly. Nothing but sorrow and grief, and a pile of dirt in front of a headstone.
And even that is temporary. All that pain will die down to a dull throb in the chest, only occasionally a stabbing pain that leaves you gasping for air.
Grass will grow on this blood soaked earth. Flowers will bloom until the headstone, the grave are overgrown, covered. Holy ground, but forgotten.
