Twilight
A drabble

He was here again.

In the twilight between realities.

In the distance he could hear the frantic sounds of his team, desperate to keep him with them.

But from another direction he could also hear the soft sigh, the alluring call of the depths. A promise that peace waited for him, that he would no longer have to suffer, to fight, to struggle….

To stay alive.

It was a choice. A choice he had made repeatedly in the past. But each time he hesitated, unsure, reluctant, wondering if he would have the strength to choose life once more.

And each time something would call him back….a responsibility, a pleading, a need.

And the depths would be denied, those he had lost, left waiting.

It was a choice. A choice he was here to make.

And he had to choose.
