CLOVER

Clover jumped out of the train, running through the field of wildflowers, right into Sawyer’s waiting arms, right into the arms of her one true love.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Clover. We all have. I thought that for sure you would pass on, but years have passed…”

Sawyer couldn’t finish his words, for he had trailed off into tears, stroking his hand through her magenta clown wig.

Clover felt him throw the wig off, and then her real, matted hair was let out around her pale face.

She heard him take one deep breath, as if to compose himself, to take it all in.

“It doesn’t matter, because you’re here now. You’re with all of us now. You’re with me.” Sawyer said, his voice choked with sobs.

He lifted her face up to his, lightly brushing away her fallen tears with his fingers.

“Can you talk? I’ve seen you from above. I know that you were mute down there, but can you talk now? I miss your voice.” Sawyer asked softly.

Clover frowned. No, she couldn’t speak. She could still feel that her voice was a poison, that it could destroy the living and disintegrate spirits and angels. She could feel it in how her throat tasted sour.

She shook her head sadly.

“Ah, that’s alright. I’m just happy that you’re here.” Sawyer laughed.

Clover grinned and planted a kiss on his lips, to which he dipped her down for, as if they were both at their wedding.

The wedding that should have happened down in Earth.

SAWYER

Sawyer couldn’t be happier. Swinging Clover around, showering her with kisses. It had been years since they died, but finally, Clover had made it to Heaven. He was never going to let her go, not for one second!

Well, unless she had to do something, of course.

As if on cue, Maxine ran up to hug Clover, who swept the little girl into a hug of her own. Sawyer let her go for that, for he wasn’t the only one who loved Clover.

Besides, his Mom and Dad would be waiting. His parents, who believed in his magic in day one, who had to watch in horror in Heaven as Sawyer was murdered.

But it was alright. Everyone was laid to rest.

They had all made it.

MAXINE

“Clover! Clover! I’m so glad you’re here! Circe killed my Mommy and Daddy and she made me all alone and I was waiting for you this whole time and I’m so SO happy that you made it!” Maxine gushed.

Her Mommy and Daddy were watching in the distance, she could see from the corner of her eye.

Though she was very pleased that they didn’t leave her behind, she still didn’t feel quite as close to them as she would have liked. Maybe in time, she would.

But at least Clover was back. At least her best friend had made it.

She thought that Circe had taken her away.

ADDISON

“Clover’s here! Is it okay that we leave now? I want to say hi!” Addison said brightly.

He and his twin sister, Madison, were with their Mom and Dad in Heaven’s wildflower field. Their parents were the ones who enrolled them both into acrobat classes, and also the ones who sent them to the circus.

The twins did not sense immediate danger until it was far too late.

They wanted to spend all the time they could with their parents, but they also wanted to see Clover again.

Mom smiled, Dad said: “Of course, she’s your friend! We’ll always let you talk to your friends.”

Addison and Madison left gratefully, glad to be with an old acquaintance.

MADISON

Madison cartwheeled over, as did Addison. There wasn’t a moment where she didn’t cartwheel, for every day was a day to exit in style!

She truly loved to perform and do tricks, but when Circe killed them all…

That shattered her. That broke her trust. All Madison wanted was to be an acrobat at a circus of like-minded individuals, but instead, there was destruction. There was death.

Madison made sure to squeeze Clover and Maxine into a hug, Addison joining along.

After everything, they were all safe and sound.
