Chapter 1:

I love you

Eclipse


The man was bleeding. 
The whole house was a wreck, appliances shattered, tables turned over, things broken, with scratches, wears and tears, all over the walls and places. And he lie at one corner bleeding out of the several wounds and deep cuts over his body, a man in his 20s breathing his last. He sat there defeated, he didn't feel any pain anymore, and tears rolled down his eyes that were looking at nothingness.
He pulled out a tape recorder from his pocket. He smiled with a weak sigh, glad that the tape recorder was intact. He didn't have the energy to bring it close to his mouth, he just turned on the recorder and putting together all the life left in him spoke
"Aldric.. my son... This is me... your dad
You probably hate me... I was never there for you, and all I leave behind is a tape recording of my final words... this is the only time you'll hear my voice... 
I... I am sorry my son... I couldn't be a good father... or a good husband
But always remember... I love you. And in my last moments the only people I see are my beautiful wife Isabele, your mother, and my greatest gift... you my son.
*weak sigh
Isabelle... My love. I am sorry for leaving like this... I had no choice. But I am always with you, in your heart, don't miss me so much honey (*soft smile, tears rolling down his eyes). And always remember... I love you, and even after death, I'll love you... I'll always love you... Hope you achieve happiness
*Soft grunt
I don't know if you'll ever forgive me... But... remember this name always... 
ZALVADOR
*He paused for a while then, his eyes looking at a distance, said
I... I see the lights... i guess my time has come... 
I am sorry... I wish I could have been a better father... a better husband...
I'm sorry to you too my love Isabele... I couldn't give you the beautiful life we dreamt of...
But as I leave... always remember
I... I love you both
I love you Isabele
I love you... Aldric"
His fingers loosened from the recorder button and it fall from his hand. Tears rolling down, he smiled softly, and then closed his eyes... leaving his last breath.
Thus ended the story of Charles Denry.
