Memories

Stanley focused on the voice upon hearing his name. He couldn't see anyone, but he recognized that voice. And from that alone, he could tell who was in front of him, yet hidden.

"Sheila?" he called out, slowly getting up from the man below him.

He felt two arms wrap around him immediately and what was hidden was revealed to him.

"You're alive!" she shouted as she began crying. "Thank god you're alive."

Stanley was stunned. Sheila was here.

He could not understand why or how she was here, not that he cared. He was so very happy to see her.

His single arm wrapped around her, holding her tightly.

How long had it been since he had seen her? He couldn't remember anymore. It had been such a long time ago that he had been sent out on a secret mission and months had passed during that time.

He finally had the chance to see her again. Only now did he realize how much he had missed her.
