Twilight had just fallen on the South Park valley. The clouds were gradually shedding their pink colour. The ride back to school was always the worst, leaving Doug behind with only homework to look forward to.

The nearly full moon at zenith, the world was lit with an eerie light. Nancy’s face illuminated by the dashboard. Kim sniffled and struggled to breathe through a raging sinus infection. Myself, watching the ends of another colourful Colorado sunset. I noticed a couple of buffalo walking close to the road and missed Killian. He would have loved this drive through the twilight, the buffalo, and the countless tomorrows in the future. Yet he was robbed of his promised tomorrows.
